''Improving the safety of ambulatory IV chemotherapy in Canada:
Results
and recommendations from a 2-year exploratory study”
Abstract:
The death of a patient due to a fluorouracil overdose in 2006 rocked the
Canadian oncology nursing community and highlighted the risks of ambulatory IV
chemotherapy. As a follow-up to the root cause analysis of the event, a two-year
research project was funded by a number of cancer and safety agencies across
Canada. The objectives were to identify safety issues in ambulatory IV
chemotherapy in a wide range of environments. This presentation is an
opportunity for those who missed the CANO Merck Lecture in Edmonton in
September 2010 to hear what was presented.
Learning Objectives: By the conclusion of the webinar participants will be able to:
- Describe the rationale and overall approach to the study
- List 3-4 themes of safety issues identified in the research
- Identify areas of improvement in their own
chemotherapy delivery processes

Abstract:
In traditional Native American teaching it is said that, “each time you
heal someone you give away a piece of yourself until, at some point, you will
require healing.” (Stebnicki, 2008). Compassion Fatigue is a normal consequence of working in
a care-giving profession. The best strategy to address Compassion Fatigue is to
develop excellent self-care strategies as well as an early warning system that
lets the care-giver know that they are moving into the caution zone of
Compassion Fatigue. This presentation will enhance
the participants understanding of Compassion Fatigue and the practical
strategies that can be employed to address it.
Learning Objectives: By the conclusion of the webinar participants will be able to:
- Define compassion fatigue
- Understand the signs and symptoms
- Identify triggers
- Target areas to address
- Develop a strategy for identifying and treating compassion fatigue

''Allow natural death'' versus ''do not resuscitate'': three words that can change a life
Abstract:
Physician-written do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders elicit
negative reactions from stakeholders that may decrease appropriate end-of-life
care. The semantic significance of the phrase has led to a proposed replacement
of DNR with “allow natural death” (AND),yet prior to this investigation, no scientific papers address the impact
of such a change. Our results support this proposition due to increased
likelihood of endorsement with the term AND.
By the conclusion of the webinar ''Allow natural death''
versus ''do not resuscitate'': three words that can change a life, participants
will:
- be able to state the difference between DNR and AND.
- be able to state at least 2 benefits of changing the title to AND.
- be able to state at least 2 concerns or hurdles to changing the title to AND.
- be able to state at least 1 difference between working nurses, student nurses and non-medical participants regarding endorsement of DNR vs AND.
