Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Care Plan

A Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Care Plan is a guide for how to handle someone experiencing a severe allergic reaction, known as anaphylaxis. It details the person's specific allergies, symptoms to watch for (like difficulty breathing or swelling), and steps to take, including administering any prescribed emergency medication such as an epinephrine auto-injector. The plan helps caregivers and school staff respond quickly and correctly to prevent serious health consequences. Having this plan in place ensures prompt, organized action, promoting safety and reducing risks during an emergency.
