Title: Patient is receiving chemotherapy and complains of burning at the sight
Post by: JulieA on Jul 11, 2014
Patient is receiving chemotherapy and complains of burning at the sight, what is the nursing priority? (chemo is toxic to veins)

Correct my answer as needed:  Nurse should wear gloves, mask and gown, assess for possible infiltration. If infiltration re-do.

Hey JulieA, is this extravasation? Apply cool water to the burning area.
