Question

In order to protect against exposure to chemotherapy drugs when caring for patients receiving intravenous (iv) therapy, what should the nurse do?

Answer 1

And nurses and others who give your chemo and help take care of you afterwards wear protective clothing, such as 2 pairs of special gloves and a gown, and sometimes goggles or a face shield. If you're getting IV chemo, there might be a disposable pad under the infusion tubing to protect the surface of the bed or chair
