Continuing coverage: Students with identified food allergies are generally well known to school nurses. School nurses are uniquely prepared to develop and apply individualized health plans for students with allergies and to coordinate resources, training and allergy and anaphylaxis education, ensuring a safe school environment for all students. “When I was the health services director for the Milwaukee Public Schools, the largest school district in Wisconsin, I witnessed nurses caring for children who had symptoms of anaphylaxis but no allergy diagnosis and for children with diagnoses whose parents hadn’t supplied emergency medication to the school,” said M. Kathleen Murphy, associate professor of nursing at UTMB. In 2009, Murphy began developing an emergency anaphylaxis response protocol in the Milwaukee Public Schools that allows school nurses to assess for anaphylaxis and administer epinephrine from the school’s supply to children with unidentified allergies and known allergies for whom prescription epinephrine auto-injectors have not been provided to the school.
