Say you had a student brought to your clinic w/what you think are the s/sx of anaphylaxis. Your med info sheet says student has no allergies. The students teacher, who brought the child up, said he'd thought he'd been gotten stung by a bee. 911 has been called. We do not have stock Epipens in the school. Would you use another student's Epipen on him? What would happen if the student wasn't in anaphylaxis - I know the epi wouldn't kill him, but then what? Administering medication without an order? or worse?
This is my biggest nightmare...
