Module 2 Summary

This is the conclusion of Module 2. Please review the information below before continuing to the next module.

Module Summary

Module 2 gave an important overview of the key documents used to support students with adrenal insufficiency in Utah schools.

We covered the following:

Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and Provider Authorization: These are the main documents for school staff. The EAP gives clear, step-by-step instructions on what to do during an adrenal crisis and when to give medication.
Training Checklist and Skills Pass-Off: This checklist is used during a hands-on training with the school nurse. You will practice giving the emergency medication and show you know what to do in a crisis. This pass-off is required to become certified.
504 Plans and IEPs: These are legal plans that provide support and classroom accommodations for students with medical conditions.
Medication Logs: After giving adrenal crisis medication, it’s important to document it. Each school may have a different form, so work with your school nurse. We’ve included a sample log in this training.
Knowing which documents to use—and how they support students—is key to helping keep students with adrenal insufficiency safe and supported at school.

Looking Ahead

The next module will provide a deeper understanding of adrenal insufficiency. We'll cover the basics of cortisol, its common causes, and the range of symptoms students may exhibit. Recognizing these signs is crucial for staff to identify potentially affected students and know when to seek medical help or enact care plans. We will also discuss medication adherence and emergency responses for students with this condition.
