Teachers - what do you do?
School year starts and a student that is new to you has potentially life saving medication. An hour ago you, or your administration, noticed the form is missing, undated, a signature is missing, something that negates your permission to administer medication.
The child has a seizure, diabetic low, allergic reaction - - something that needs immediate attention. You're not in the city, you're in the outskirts, and ambulances aren't there in under 10 minutes. The medication is there, and labeled, with the child's name on it. You know (be it by the incorrect form, community knowledge, classmates or teachers) that this child is in fact allergic/diabetic/seizure prone.
What do you do? Does health trump legalities or vice versa?
i give the medication. but i once took a first aid class with a bunch of daycare providers and preschool teachers, and when the teacher asked if we'd administer one kid's epipen to another kid if the second kid had an anaphylactic reaction but no epipen of his own, i said heck yeah, and everyone else told me they would never in a million years do that because it would risk their license. apparently they'd rather watch the kid die in front of their eyes.... or maybe if it came down to it they'd actually do the right thing. who knows.
but thank you very much for the question.
