It is important to know the person with the disease as well as the disease the person has. The case studies describe how nurses can provide excellent care

that is individualized and patient-centered.

The administration of chemotherapy and biotherapy can present oncology nurses with unusual challenges and unfamiliar situations. A companion to Chemotherapy and Biotherapy Guidelines and Recommendations for Practice, ONS’s brand-new Chemotherapy and Biotherapy Case Studies consists of 21 all-new patient scenarios depicting everyday issues as well as more infrequent but important problems that arise during treatment that oncology nurses must manage.

Each chapter presents a case study and incorporates questions and answers designed to test how you would handle each situation. Additionally, the book offers practical evidence-based interventions to help you focus on important aspects of patient care. Topics range from blood and marrow transplantation, combination therapy, clinical trials, targeted therapies, oral agents, toxicities, and infusion reactions to symptom management, survivorship care planning, ethical issues, and more.

Chemotherapy and Biotherapy Case Studies will be an invaluable resource for

• Nurses who administer chemotherapy and biotherapy or care for patients being treated with these drugs

• Nurse educators helping new oncology nurses learn basic chemotherapy content

• Students in an entry-level or graduate oncology nursing program

• Infusion nurses wanting to brush up on chemotherapy- and biotherapy-related information.

Because nurses remember patients and patient scenarios so easily, case studies are an ideal learning tool. Chemotherapy and Biotherapy Case Studies prepares you to face a variety of situations involving chemotherapy and biotherapy with confidence.
