organization and planning

In the depicted situation, organization is definitely very important. The medications the children need if they are put in the office should have been organized in an efficient manner so that they are easy to find. In addition, like a good emergency plan, the teacher, students, and any other involved personnel should have had a plan in place when any students needs help or medication. Just because the school nurse isn't around does not mean the rest of the staff at school should not know what to do. In addition, there should be a back up plan for the medication. Perhaps, the teacher of the child can store the medication in her classroom in a locked cabinet instead of everything at the office. Schools can be very large and sometimes the time lapse is the msot crucial part of saving a child's life. They could also hold mock emergency trainings with the children so they each have a role in case there is a child who needs medicaiton or any other emergency.
