Nursing students and healthcare professionals learning about safe chemotherapy administration protocols.
This video explains the administration of chemotherapy, also known as cytostatic drugs, for cancer patients to inhibit tumor cell growth.
Nurses must ensure the patient's general condition, vital signs, lab results, and psychological state are optimal before administering chemotherapy.
To prevent exposure, nurses must wear complete PPE, including gowns, goggles, masks, double gloves, and shoe covers.
Cytostatic drugs should be stored in a separate box to prevent contamination. Used vials and ampoules must be immediately placed in designated hazardous waste bags.
During preparation, nurses must ensure all used drug containers are disposed of properly and labeled as high-risk cytotoxic waste.
