I have been asked by many nurses for a protocol to manage infiltration and extravasation. I have just received an early copy of the August issue of the American Journal of Nursing where one of my manuscripts on this issue has been published. If you are looking for a protocol, please locate the August issue of AJN. It should be in your mail and libraries shortly. Thanks, Lynn
I look forward to reading this. Does it address chemotherapy extravasation?
