What do you guys think about giving Diastat in the school setting that is known to be expired. I am a new school nurse and a mom sent rescue Diastat in with the student on the first day of school. I checked it and it had expired the previous month. I sent it back home with a letter that explained it was expired and we needed a new one sent in. His mother emailed me to confirm receipt and asked if we could keep the Diastat until she could get a new one filled. She also commented that she understood that giving expired meds is a liability, but less than having damage from a seizure that is not stopped. What would you do in this situation? The student will be in school without unexpired rescue med until she gets a new one. Would you give it if needed, even though you knew and confirmed this with others?
