Kern County protocol change

[NPO]

For a few years the "lay responder optional scope of practice" has included narcan, EpiPens and 2pam. The BLS scope has been updated to include these as well.

BLS can now give IN narcan, and administer EpiPens if the patient cannot assist. Still cannot check a blood sugar however....
