Steps to Administer Narcan Nasal Spray:
Remove Narcan from its box and peel back the tab to open the nasal spray package. Do not test the device before use.
3. Administer the Dose:
Position the Person: Lay the person on their back. Tilt their head back slightly to open the airway.
Insert the Nozzle: Hold the Narcan nasal spray with your thumb on the bottom of the plunger and your first and middle fingers on either side of the nozzle. Insert the tip of the nozzle into on nostril until your fingers are against the bottom of the person’s nose.
Push the Plunger: Firmly press the plunger to deliver the full dose of Narcan into the nostril.
Important Considerations
Post-Administration Care: Once the person wakes up, explains what happened and advise them not to use any drugs, as they may still be at risk of overdose.
