Abstract
Through consistent risk assessment, nurses could determine which patients were at high risk of developing FN leading to significant reduction in life-threatening infections, hospitalisations, dose reductions and delays. Nurses can be confident and competent in decision-making to reduce life-threatening infections through the use of an FN risk assessment tool.
