Great Plains Quality Innovation Network developed this Naloxone training for ANYONE interested in learning more about how Naloxone can be used to save a life.
This 20-minute training provides an overview of the signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose, three different naloxone administration techniques and Good Samaritan Laws in North
Dakota and South Dakota.
There are over 250 drug-related deaths every day. Naloxone saves lives. We each have a moral obligation to be prepared to administer naloxone in the event of an overdose. The risk of being unprepared can result in loss of life. The risk of giving naloxone when it may not be needed with an unresponsive individual is negligible. Watching this video will help you feel more comfortable with administering Naloxone in an emergency.
After completing the training video, a QR code/link is provided to access a Naloxone Training knowledge check. The knowledge check consists of 5 questions. A certificate of completion will be provided once the knowledge check is submitted.
