Abstract
Elizabeth Hammond, RN, CPNP, was formerly at the Children’s Hospital of Alabama. She is presently with Pediatric OncologyHematology Associates, P.C. Atlanta, Georgia. As the clinical experience grows in the chemotherapeutic treatment of malignancies, side effects of the agents used are documented. One of the most frightening side effects for the patient and family is anaphylaxis which can be fatal. Nurses administering chemotherapy should anticipate the side effects of the agents used, and in the case of anaphylaxis, be prepared to intervene with speed and efficiency.
