School nurses in America face challenges when helping a patient experiencing an allergic reaction.  This is due to the fact that the guidelines put forth by the school district and the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology often times differ from what a specific patient needs at the time he or she is experiencing the reaction.  The difference between processes may cause hesitation and thus a delay in proper treatment, which could be dangerous for the patient (Wahl et al. 2015, 97).
