hi, i need ur advice. i have a friend who's working in a tertiary hospital. he was a volunteer nurse who just graduated from college. he was asked to hang a chemo. the pt. went so good and didnt have any reactions to the chemo when the infusion was done. he stopped it. when the doctor came after a day. the doctor noticed that there was still about 400cc left of the fluids - he forgot to throw it out or a nurse had noticed it ( i dnt know!) but anyway, my friend didn't notice coz it was all wrapped with a black cloth. he was called by the nurse supervisor and made an incident report about what happened. .......there was still some fluids left because he didn't know that the fold(bottle) held up some fluids. he was so busy at that time (although it was not an excuse of his mistake.)

the main concerned of my friend was that he was worried about his patient, he doesn't care if he got reprimanded or scolded because it was his mistake after all. but he was so worried with the patient. he has been crying for days now, and i can't help him out about it because i just have few knowledge about chemo

our questions are:
1, since the doctor knew that the patient was underdosed, will the doctor can still able to do something about it? can he redose the patient? or the whole treatment was ruined?
2, will it harm the patient and make his/her cancer worst?
3, does my friend did a very tremendous mistake?
4, how can i comfort my friend?he has been crying for days now. he's very devastated with what he has done. (her grandparents died from CA, that's why he is very concerned about his patients). he wants to quit his job now.
please help us.

thanks for your help. GOD BLESS...
