What if a parent insists that she cannot afford to have an extra bottle of insulin at school and cannot afford to dispose of a needle each time it is used?
The school nurse can write a letter to the insurance company for the need for extra supplies. Also the vial can be sent back and forth from home to school however explain to the parent that this could decrease the potency faster (as the movement from transporting it daily can denature the insulin). OSHA has no jurisdiction over students therefore if they desire to re-use a syringe they may do so if they are independently performing the task.
