According to Missouri State Statue Section 167.630, RSMo and 167.0635.1, RSMo schools are able to obtain and maintain an adequate supply of epinephrine pre-filled auto syringes and asthma-related rescue medications for emergency use by the employed school nurse licensed under chapter 335. The school nurse or another employee trained and supervised by the employed school nurse may administer these medications when they believe, based on training, that a student is having a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction or life-threatening asthma episode.
The St. Louis Archdiocese has adopted a new policy on Emergency Stock Medications. We have decided to stock Emergency Epinephrine and/or Albuterol for those students with no known history of anaphylaxis or asthma.
CONSENT
Parental approval to use standing physician ordered medications allows for efficient treatment of students emergency health issue.
