SLUH Student and Parent Handbook - St. Louis University High ...

e. Unless otherwise indicated on a completed form C (green
card/available in medical office, the student will be taken to St.
Mary’s Hospital on Clayton Road via city ambulance or to the
nearest hospital where the injury has taken place.
f. If the family has requested ER services at a county hospital and
circumstances require ambulance transport, 911 will be called and a
city ambulance will be dispatched to the school. After stabilizing the
student, a county ambulance will be called to SLUH to complete the
transport to the preferred ER.
Please note that every effort will be made to send the student to the ER of
choice. However, in the event that a situation warrants immediate care
and could become life-threatening without prompt medical intervention,
emergency care will be pursued at the closest ER regardless of preference.
6. Dispensing and Storing Medication
Prescription medication will be submitted to the R.N. and kept locked in the
Nursing Office at all times. Medication must be in a sealed container with a
pharmacy label of the student's name and the medication he is to receive.
Instructions on the container must be legible and clearly state the dosage,
frequency, and expiration date of the medication. Medications will be
dispensed at a specific time each day to all students in order to accommodate
various schedules. Students requiring medications labeled "take as needed"
should report to the Nursing Office at anytime of the day to receive their
medicine. Students will be allowed to store a single daily dose of over the
counter medication (Advil, Tylenol, Rolaids, etc.) in their locker for purposes
of self-administration. Students requiring multiple doses of over the counter
medication throughout the day should turn over the medication to the R.N.
Written permission from a parent or guardian and a physician order stating the
student's name, medication, dosage, frequency, and purpose will be required
for all medications stored in the Nursing Office. This information will be
placed on file until the medication is completed or discontinued.
I. Student Activities
