Course Modules

The medication administration course contains multiple sections to cover the topics discussed in the toolkit. There is a voluntary section available only for schools that have a policy adopted to voluntarily offer emergency stock medication. This section may be skipped by schools or programs who do not have a policy to stock emergency medications.

The school nurse may have the delegatee (school or program personnel) complete additional specialized sections after the personnel has completed the required medication administration course. These actions may not be taken unless personnel have completed the regular medication administration course. The specialized sections include:

1. Medication Administration: Glucagon (injection, pen, intranasal)
2. Medication Administration: Insulin (glucose monitoring, carbohydrate counting, ketone checks if applicable)
3. Medication Administration: Nebulizer treatments
4. Medication Administration: Seizure medications (rectal, intranasal, buccal)
5. Medication Administration: Gastrostomy tube (includes feeding)
6. Medication Administration: Insulin pumps (broad overview, glucose monitoring, carbohydrate counting, ketone checks if applicable)
