Question
Can the Nursing Assistant get a prescription for naloxone?
Answer
The Nursing Assistant may 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. Anyone can take this standing order to a pharmacy to get a prescription. The Nursing Assistant may also get a prescription in their own name from their health care practitioner. For more information, go to the Washington State Department of Health Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution Website.
