RCW 69.41.095 allows the Registered Nurse, or any person, to carry and administer an opioid antagonist (such as naloxone) to a person suspected of experiencing an opioid overdose in any setting. The nurse must have a valid prescription, either in the nurse’s name, in the name of an entity, in the name of a person/patient, or through a standing order. The nurse may also get a prescription from a pharmacist with a Collaborative Drug Therapy Agreement (CDTA) or use the Washington State Department of Health Statewide Standing Order to Dispense Naloxone to get as a prescription. Anyone can take this standing order to a pharmacy to get a prescription. The nurse may also get a prescription in their own name from their health care practitioner. The Registered Nurse should use the Scope of Practice Decision Tree to determine if specific activities are within the registered nurse’s legal and individual scope of practice. For more information, go to the Washington State Department of Health Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution Website.
