A7: The Norton Maternal Opiate and Substance Treatment (MOST) Program is committed to helping you break the cycle of addiction. https://t.co/D8mk152pL8 #NursesStopOpioidAbuse

[Amy Thompson @amy_rn14]

@DrRankinPeds A7: As a nurse it's my responsibility to speak for those individuals that feel they don't have a voice. Providing education to those suffering from addiction along with their families. Creating an environment free from judgement for an opioid addiction. #NursesStopOpioidAbuse

[Megan Lyvers @LyversMegan]

A7: Nurses can create a safe platform to offer resources for ongoing healing from loss, offer education about opioid addiction prevention, overdose and treatment. Set a safe space by normalizing patients experience and allow the individual to disclose use. #NursesStopOpioidAbuse

[Megan Lyvers @LyversMegan]

A7: As nurses we can raise awareness of how we can carry ourselves into the lives of addicted patients and how our role as a nurse is perceived by the addicts. Let go of the bias and offer support!!! #NursesStopOpioidAbuse

@DrRankinPeds A5: Policies passed in Frankfort in 2017 have limited acute pain opioid prescriptions to 3-days duration max. Most of KY works in light of this limit, but not all regions are mandated to do so. Inform your region of this need today! #NursesStopOpioidAbuse #LocalInitiatives

[Elizabeth Roberts @roberts_uofl]

A3: ANYONE can purchase Narcan directly from a pharmacist without a doctors prescription
Live training or online modules can be accessed through the Kentucky Harm Reduction Coalition

A great graphic showing the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) plan for stopping the opioid epidemic! #NursesStopOpioidAbuse

[TIM CUNNINGHAM @TIMBOBULH]

•In 2016 Louisville Metro EMS dispatched 7,000 over dose runs. And over 2,000 of those, Narcan was already administered before EMS arrival. #NursesStopOpioidAbuse

Lots of work being done to decrease opioid abuse in rural areas! #NursesStopOpioidAbuse

[Find Help Now KY @findhelpnowky]

@DrRankinPeds A3: After an overdose has been reversed with Naloxone, if possible, it is important to follow up and help that individual find treatment. https://t.co/Cg84rKMYou is a real-time treatment locator created at UK to help find facilities w/ openings. #NursesStopOpioidAbuse

[professionalpope @profess30556634]

@DrRankinPeds Aside from Naloxone, a tool found to be helpful in emergent opioid overdose situations is a list of “DO’s & DON’Ts”. This tool increases education/ awareness & ensures proper care #NursesStopOpioidAbuse #SAMHSAtoolkit
