ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION: USING A CARTRIDGE SYSTEM -- REFILLING THE CARTRIDGE

Course overview

A medication administration cartridge system (MACS) is a portable delivery device for the infusion of a single I.V. medication by the patient. MACS typically consist of a reservoir for medication, tubing, and a catheter. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of administering medications via a cartridge system, including its clinical presentation, symptoms, and treatment, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. 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.
