A SCHOOL NURSE GUIDE TO FOOD ALLERGIES

Awareness, advocacy, and education are critical to supporting students with food allergies in classrooms, on sports fields, and in all school-related activities. School nurses must be equipped with the knowledge and resources to not only safely care for students with food allergies, but to cultivate a culture of inclusivity, and provide training and protocols for faculty and staff. Learn what causes a food allergy reaction, appropriate response and treatment, best practices for accommodating students with food allergies, and how schools can protect their physical and emotional health and wellbeing.

Great video. As a school nurse, I have a suggestion for another video. It would be useful to have a video that shows how to administer all 5 types of epi injectors (epipen, TEVA, the generic form of adrenaclick, auvi-q. and symjepi) in ONE video. Thank You.

I am careful of allergies as I have teacher who cannot have egg and milk, two friends who is allergic to gluten so I go special food allergy free stores to get safe foods. I am allergic to a medince called pencillien and hairdye products

I thought Benadryl was not the best choice.
