Review Title: Development of a nursing policy for the administration of an oncolytic virus in the outpatient setting
Abstract: Objective: To describe the development of a nursing policy for the administration of oncolytic viruses in therapeutic clinical trials and the unique challenges for infection control and nursing. Data Source: Journal articles, web-based resources, peer-reviewed literature. Conclusion: Early nursing involvement and inclusion of multidisciplinary hospital departments facilitated the creation of a nursing policy that maintained fidelity to the research protocol and minimized potential risk to nursing staff. A total of 18 doses of oncolytic viruses were administered with no inadvertent exposures to staff or other patients of the oncolytic virus. Implications for Nursing Practice: Nursing should be involved at the initiation of a clinical trial to determine whether policies need to be created or changed to maintain the integrity of the research protocol while ensuring the safety of staff and patients. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
