Learn proper handling of hazardous drugs to minimize harm. This activity covers the risks of manipulation, ensuring safety for patients and healthcare professionals.
Many new drugs have been added to the USP 800 hazardous drugs and unfortunately, many healthcare professionals have not been taught enough information on the danger of manipulating those agents. Nurses, licensed health aids, compounders as well as patients are at the frontline of toxicities by manipulating these agents. These effects include reproductive, teratogenic, and hormonal complications. The goal of this activity is to explain the importance of handling hazardous drugs properly to minimize harm to patients, compounders, and caregivers. This self-paced course is available online through any device with internet access. There are unlimited test attempts and no time limit for completion.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Very well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
I am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Enjoyed this course! It squarely met my license renewal requirement as a physician. It was well-written, and an altogether enjoyable read.
