Course Overview

Hazardous drugs are medications that can cause cancer, mutate genes, cause fetal defects, or other adverse effects. When drugs such as chemotherapy, antiviral, or other hazardous agents are warranted for patients, healthcare staff preparing, administering, or in the immediate vicinity of these drugs may be exposed. Millions of healthcare personnel may or may not be protected from exposure. Safety standards, appropriate protective equipment/devices, and protective procedures exist to help prevent or minimize exposure. Are you protected?
