Stock Naloxone Program
The CA Dept of Public Health has developed this 11 minute video to provide reinforcement specific to this stock naloxone program. In addition to the video link, please review the Opioid Overdose Action Plan. Please let the school nurse know if you wish to receive naloxone administration training or have any questions regarding opioid overdose and/or administration of naloxone.
Summary of Ed Code 49414.3 and the LUHSD protocol/board policy:
o Our school sites have stock naloxone to be used on any person suffering or believed to be suffering from an opioid overdose.
o Signs and symptoms of opioid overdose may include unconsciousness, inability to waken, slow or shallow breathing, choking/gurgling/snoring noises, fingernails or lips turning blue, and cold/clammy skin.
o Call 911 and the person's designated emergency contacts if known.
o Provide CPR or rescue breathing depending on the need of the situation.
o Employees and volunteers will be provided defense and indemnification by the school district for any and all civil liability when naloxone is administered in good faith and not willfully malicious intent.
o Print this indemnity acknowledgment for your own record.
o The LUHSD Nursing Department maintains the logistics of the stock naloxone program which includes the annual physician standing order for the program, proper storage, the stock of unexpired medication, and a monthly check of supplies. (Please check with the school nurse to identify where the backstock of Narcan is located)
