“Due to the infrequent use of I.V. immune globulin (IVIG) in the oncology population, most nurses have little experience with IVIG administration. Multiple-step calculations are often required to administer IVIG based on patient weight. The cost of a single dose of IVIG can be very high, depending on the formulation. Consequently, administering IVIG can be stressful for nurses. This project has important patient safety implications. It highlights apprehension and distress surrounding IVIG administration and can be used as a guide to identify other areas of opportunity to improve nurse comfort and confidence with high adverse reaction profile medications.”
