Administering chemotherapy
Hi all -
I wanted to see what other institutions are doing in regards to administering chemotherapy:
1. Is nursing preference to run as a primary or secondary infusion?
2. Does nursing follow with administration of a flush? How much?
3. Any other insight for nursing practice?
I'd also like to know if your facility takes care of pediatrics.
Thanks-
