“…The body of the literature on medication administration was searched using PubMed, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) databases. Articles were inspected and culled using an evidence-based guideline decision tree (Shannon & Maughan, 2020) to ensure the highest quality, relevant literature. Additional sources were added from those articles' reference lists.…”

Despite the volume of medications that are administered in schools, school nurse guidelines for administering medications in schools lacked the support of empirical literature to guide best practices. Some states issue guidelines that summarize state regulations or dictate the standards and processes. However, state school nursing manuals rely on tradition and professional judgment for suggested medication practices. Medication practices may vary significantly from building to building within a school district. The National Association of School Nurses commissioned a uniform clinical practice guideline (CPG) for the administration of medications in schools based on a systematic review of the literature. The CPG for medications administered in schools provides direction for state school nurse consultants, school districts, and nurses working independently in schools by creating the structure and processes of care to lead to optimal outcomes including increased medication adherence, fewer errors, and decreased morbidity and mortality. The School Nursing Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline: Medication Administration in Schools guide school policy and provide evidence for policy changes for state legislation.

The National Association of School Nurses developed the Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice™ (Framework) to guide school nursing practice and help school nurses articulate their role to educators. Since its introduction, the Framework has been accepted and adopted by many. At the same time, several misunderstandings and misinterpretations of the Framework have come to light. The purpose of this article is to clarify the terminology in order to create a common understanding among practicing school nurses to be able to implement the Framework more fully and with integrity.

“…The goal of CPGs for the specialty of school nursing is to ensure that strong evidence-based practice recommendations are accessible to improve health, well-being and educational outcomes for students with special healthcare needs. (Shannon & Maughan, 2020)The conceptual framework of the School Nursing CPG Model follows the Donabedian framework (1988) by outlining the structure and processes needed to develop a rigorous CPG ( outcome ) on a clinical problem based upon the strongest available evidence (Figure 1). NASN is responsible for the structure and management of CPG development including (1) oversight, (2) proposals, (3) team composition, (4) project timelines, (5) documentation and submission, (6) expert review and appraisal, (7) revision and adoption, (8) dissemination and education, (9) cycle of revision, and (10) sustainability.…”

The paucity of scientifically rigorous school nursing clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) presents barriers to evidence-based care of students with special health-care needs. A Model for Developing Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines for School Nursing (School Nursing CPG Model) was developed under the auspices of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) to address this need. To test and validate this School Nursing CPG Model, a trial CPG development project was conducted to (1) identify structure and process gaps and areas for improvement within the School Nursing CPG Model and (2) develop an evidence-based CPG for school nursing practice that addresses a priority student health condition: seizures and epilepsy. The School Nursing CPG Model was validated through a trial CPG project which followed the systematic, standardized process of the School Nursing CPG Model while responsively implementing quality improvement measures through the Plan–Do–Study–Act cycle. Both specific aims were accomplished.
