Managing Chemotherapy Side Effects: Achieving Reliable and Equitable Outcomes

Clara C Beaver et al. Clin J Oncol Nurs. .

Abstract

Receiving information about treatment-related side effects is a high priority for patients receiving chemotherapy. Infusion nurses typically assume responsibility for teaching patients how to manage treatment-related side effects, but providing reliable and equitable information across visits and across different infusion centers can present a problem. Implementing a standardized, patient-centered, departure encounter checklist can help ensure that nurses consistently provide patients with targeted, timely, and regimen-specific information about treatment-related side effects. .

Keywords: infusion nurse; patient education; treatment-related side effects.
