This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: • Always use proper PPE: double chemotherapy gloves, a non-permeable gown, and face shield when handling chemo drugs. • Extravasation of a vesicant is a medical emergency; the priority action is to immediately stop the infusion. • Myelosuppression presents as Neutropenia, Anemia, and Bleeding risk (thrombocytopenia); remember the acronym NAB. • A low-grade fever (e.g., 100.4°F or 38°C) in a neutropenic patient is a critical sign of infection requiring immediate intervention. • Patient education must focus on infection prevention, bleeding precautions, and managing side effects like mucositis and nausea.
