PARENT TEACHING: CHILDREN UNDERGOING CHEMOTHERAPY

Course overview

Although childhood cancers are rare, cancer continues to be the second leading cause of death in children. Eighty percent of children with cancer survive at least 5 years, and many for much longer. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of the process of educating parents about chemotherapy in children, and to aid in caring for children receiving chemotherapy. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
