Take A.C.T.I.O.N. and save a life with free educational resources created by AANP Fellow Dr. Chin Hwa (Gina) Dahlem and Maya Doc-Simkins. Funded by a grant from AANP, the documents detail signs of overdose using the acronym A.C.T.I.O.N. and explain how to take life-saving action, including how to administer naloxone via auto-injector or syringe.
This handout is designed to support NPs working with patients who will or currently are receiving treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD). During shared clinical decision-making, the tool can guide the patient education on how the medications are used to treat OUD work and their common side effects. This handout provides a way for patients to take an active role in their recovery by utilizing journaling of their treatment goals, triggers and positive coping skills.
