How Do Nurses Manage Side Effects of Cancer Treatment?
Side effects from cancer treatment can be challenging for patients. Nurses employ various strategies to manage these effects:
Pain Management: Using medications, non-pharmacological interventions, and complementary therapies. Nutritional Support: Providing dietary advice to overcome loss of appetite, nausea, and other gastrointestinal issues. Fatigue Management: Encouraging rest, light physical activity, and proper nutrition. Skin Care: Advising on skincare routines to manage radiation-induced skin changes. Emotional Support: Offering counseling, support groups, and mental health referrals.
