Medication nursing standing orders for emergency care

TEAYS VALLEY LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
MEDICATION IN SCHOOL
Scheduling of medication or treatment outside of school hours is encouraged.
When that is not possible, a specific policy must be followed.
We allow prescribed medication to be taken. However, we must have a written
permission from the parent and the physician's signed verification.
Medication must be received in the container in which it was dispensed by the
physician or pharmacist. It must have proper identification, dosage, and time
interval marked.
All medications will be kept in a locked cabinet in the school office
for the student's use as needed – unless special circumstances justify an exception.
Please understand that assistance with medication administration, in the absence of the
school nurse, will be rendered by an employee of the district who is not medically
trained.
For over-the-counter medication, the student should bring the medication to the office in
its original container and clearly marked with the student's name.
Written permission from the parent will also be required before any non-prescription
(over the counter) medication is administered to any student by a school employee.
Parents are responsible for the safe delivery of the medication to the school office -
it is preferred that the parent bring in the medication to the school office
and review
with school staff the specific instructions on how and when the medication is to be given.
Parents also need to instruct the child as to the medication schedule and when to report to
the office. Parents will assume the responsibility of notifying the school if the
medication orders have changed.
Parents must understand that they are responsible for picking up any left over or
expired medication at school and that the medication will be disposed of after the
last day of school if not collected by the parent – unless the parent has made specific
arrangements with school personnel.
Medication forms are available in the school office or may be downloaded from the
Teays Valley web site www.tvsd.us
The School Physician will serve as a health consultant and will provide written
medication standing orders for general and emergency care.
In the event that a child needs NON-Prescription medication for minor ailments at school,
the school nurse or her designee may dispense any of the following OTC medication
under the guidelines of the school physician's standing orders:
Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), Acetaminophen (Tylenol), Benadryl, Tums, Imodium A-D,
Robitussin, or first aid antiseptic/ointment.
This would be done with parental signed permission, which would be indicated on
the school emergency authorization form that is given to parents annually.
