Procedure JHC-AP(3): Student Health Services and Requirements - (Bed Bugs)
Epilepsy and Seizure Disorder Health Plans If a parent/guardian requests care for epilepsy or seizure disorder for their student, the school nurse will create an individualized health plan (IHP) and an individualized emergency health plan (IEHP) for the student.
Parents/Guardians must provide the school nurse written authorization for implementation of the plan annually.
The school nurse will update the plans before the beginning of each school year and as necessary if there is a change in the health status of the student.
The school nurse or the administrator/designee serving in the absence of the school nurse will coordinate the provision of epilepsy or seizure disorder care.
Both the IHP and the IEHP will include, but not be limited to, the following:
Notice about the student's condition for all employees who interact with the student.
Written orders from the student's physician or advanced practice nurse describing the required care.
The student's symptoms and recommended care.
Whether the student may fully participate in exercise and sports, any contraindications to exercise and any required accommodations.
Accommodations for school-related activities, such as school trips, after-school activities and class parties.
Information for school employees about how to recognize indicators of and provide care for epilepsy and seizure disorder; epilepsy or seizure disorder first aid; when to call for assistance; and parent/guardian and emergency contact information.
Medical treatment issues that may affect the student's educational process.
The student's understanding of and ability to manage the epilepsy or seizure disorder.
How to maintain communication with the student, parents/guardians, the student's healthcare team and the school nurse or the person designated to work with the student in the absence of the school nurse. Training
All school employees shall receive training every two years on the care of students with epilepsy or seizure disorder. School employees include employees working with school-sponsored programs outside the regular school day. The training must be a course of instruction approved by the Department of Health and Senior Services and provided by a reputable, local, Missouri-based healthcare or nonprofit organization that supports the welfare of individuals with epilepsy. Medical Information
The school nurse or the administrator/designee serving as the school nurse in the absence of the school nurse will request a release from the parent/guardian to authorize the sharing of medical information between the student's physician or advanced practice nurse and other healthcare providers. The release should allow the nurse or administrator/designee to share information with school employees when necessary. Liability Protection
No employee or agent of the school shall be held liable for any good-faith act or omission consistent with implementing this procedure. Further, no school nurse will be subject to an action before the State Board of Nursing for action taken by a school employee trained by the school nurse in good faith. “Good faith” shall not be construed to include willful misconduct, gross negligence or recklessness.
