CARE OF PATIENTS WITH CANCER
PRESENTED BY:
BHUMIKABEN.G.THAKOR
2. INTRODUCTION
Nurses have traditionally been involved with the
care, tertiary prevention and rehabilitation of patients
after cancer diagnosis and treatment.
3. HOLISTIC NURSING CONSIDERATIONS
1) Primary level care:
Prevention and Screening/ client education
2) Secondary level care:
Diagnostic Testing Treatment and side-effects of
Surgery, Radiotherapy ,Chemotherapy
3) Tertiary level care:
End of life and psychosocial issues
4. 1) Primary level care:
PREVENTION AND SCREENING Patient Education
Health promotion:
Diet high in whole grains,Vit C, & fruits & vegetables.
Limit fat, alcohol, smoked.
Maintain healthy immune system.
Avoidance of carcinogens:
Limit exposure to sun, tobacco smoke/chew, radiation,
viruses,chronic irritants, immunosuppressants.
5. Continue…
Regular cancer screening : ACS Cancer Detection
Guidelines
C A U T I O N Annual physical exam,
7. 2) SECONDARY level care:
DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
Patient Education And Support
Common laboratory tests: CBC, bilirubin, alkaline
and acid phosphatase, tumor markers (PSA)
Radiological procedures: CT, PET, MRI, ultrasound,
mammography
Endoscopic procedures:
Bronchoscopy,
Esophagoscopy etc.
8. CANCER TREATMENT
CHEMOTHERAPY
Nursing Care
Prior to administration: hydration and anti-emetics
During administration: vesicant precautions: gloves,
monitor IV site closely
Post administration: utilize interventions for common
side effects:
Myelo suppression
infection,
bleeding,
fatigue ,
GI complications – anorexia,Nausea/Vomiting,
xerostomia, Alopecia
11. CANCER TREATMENT
EXTERNAL RADIATION
Nursing Care
Teletherapy :
• Promote nutrition and rest
• Do not remove simulation markings
• Utilize interventions for common side effects:
Myelosuppression – infection, bleeding, fatigue
GI complications – anorexia, Nausea/Vomiting,
taste alterations, mucositis, xerostomia, diarrhea
12. CANCER TREATMENT
INTERNAL RADIATION
Nursing Care
Brachytherapy – Sealed vs Unsealed
Safety considerations:
• Private room. Radioactive caution sign
• Limit visitors to ½ hr; no under 18,
• no pregnant
• Rotate nurse assignments/ wear dosimeter
13. CANCER TREATMENT –
SURGERY NursingCare
Pre-operative teaching
Nutritional promotion
pre and post operative Pain control
Monitor for post-operative complications
14. THE PATIENT WITH CANCER
A NURSING PROCESS APPROACH
The following common problems should be
considered:
Infection
Bleeding
Pain
Malnutrition
Fatigue
Psychosocial Issues
15. FOCUSEDASSESSMENT of
the Patient with Cancer
S/S of bleeding: Platelets, CBC, gums, stools, urine,
skin, LOC
S/S of infection: Temp, WBC, respiratory, urinary,
skin, invasive sites Pain: W H A T S U P or S L I D A
Nutritional Status: Weight, serum albumin &
transferrin, appetite, Nausea &Vomiting, diarrhea,
food aversions/preferences
Coping skills of patient and
Patient knowledge: disease, treatment, outcomes
16. DIAGNOSIS
Chronic pain r/t disease process and therapy
Nutrition, imbalanced; less than body requirements r/t
anorexia,
Fatigue r/t myelosuppression
Risk for injury r/t bleeding tendencies
Risk for infection r/t diminished immunity
Risk for ineffective coping r/t diagnosis of cancer
Body image disturbance r/t surgical Intervention /
alopecia
17. PLANNING
Patient will demonstrate:
Platelet, CBC, albumin, transferrin levels in normal range
No evidence of bleeding
No evidence of infection
Pain relieved and/or controlled
Progressive weight gain toward goal
Performance of ADLs within level of ability
Verbalized awareness of own coping abilities
18. IMPLEMENTATION
CHRONIC PAIN R/T DISEASE PROCESS
Acknowledge and accept patient report
Determine patient’s acceptable pain level
Administer analgesics per MD orders
Utilize cognitive-behavioral strategies:
• Guided imagery
• Distraction
• Relaxation etc.
19. NUTRITION IMBALANCED; LESS THAN BODY
REQUIREMENTS R/T ANOREXIA
Monitor serum albumin, transferrin, body weight,
intake & output
Identify patient food likes and dislikes
Offer small frequent nutrient dense meals/snacks
Administer anti-emetics & analgesics ac per MD
orders
ANTI-EMETIC Examples:Zofran, TIgan, Ativan,
Compazine
20. RISK FOR INFECTION R/T DIMINISHED
IMMUNITY
Monitor WBC
Daily Observe closely for S/S infection
Neutropenic precautions: limit invasive procedures,
private room, no exposure to communicable illness
strict hand washing, no fresh flower, fruits,
vegetables,
21. RISK FOR INJURY R/T BLEEDING TENDENCIES
Monitor platelet, CBC, H&H levels
Observe for S/S bleeding and or hypoxia
Bleeding precautions: gentle handling, fall
precautions, electric razor, soft toothbrush, gentle
nose blowing, avoid invasive procedures, no rectal
temps, no intercourse
Administer stool softeners as per MD orders
Administer transfusion therapy as per MD orders
22. RISK FOR INEFFECTIVE COPING
BODY IMAGE DISTURBANCE
Utilize effective communication techniques and
attentive listening skills
Encourage patient verbalizations of fears and
concerns
Provide information on support groups, hospice care
• Provide information regarding plastic surgery,
prosthetic options
23. EVALUATION
PATIENT WILL: Be free from bleeding, infecti
Verbalize relief, reduction and control of pain
Maintain optimal nutritional status
free of Nausea &V
Perform ADLs to desired level
Express feelings about disease, prognosis, body
image, etc.
Demonstrate healthy coping mechanisms
24. SUPPORTIVE CARE OF PATIENTWITH CANCER
Symptom control caring for them in their own home
if they so wish
Supporting them if they decide to refuse treatment for
their cancer
Emotional support
Psychosocial support
25. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Palliative care
Hospice care
Complementary therapies
Community-based care
Evidence-based practice
