Nursing care for patients with lung cancer turning into bone cancer

Nursing for patients with lung cancer that has turned into bone cancer? Nursing plays an increasingly important role in disease treatment. If the nursing is not done properly, it will seriously affect the patient's recovery. Bone tumor is a very serious disease in orthopedics. In addition to timely treatment, nursing for bone tumor is also particularly important. So, how to care for patients with lung cancer that has turned into bone tumor?

1. After surgery, patients should be supplemented with nutrition and calories, and given high-protein, high-vitamin foods, such as meat, poultry, fresh vegetables, fish, etc. In addition to the above diet, patients undergoing chemotherapy for bone tumors should especially eat more carrots, fruits, water chestnuts, tomatoes, etc.

2. If the benign tumor surgery does not affect the bone stability, the patient can gradually resume normal activities after the incision heals. If the bone stability is affected, the patient can perform muscle contraction and relaxation exercises at the fixed part and active activities of the unfixed joints during the fixation period. After the fixation is removed, the joints can be gradually moved for exercise. Patients with malignant tumors should rest more. Patients with spine and lower limb bone tumors should mainly rest in bed and frequently move unfixed joints. Patients with upper limb bone tumors can walk and move unfixed joints. The range of motion can be gradually increased after the condition stabilizes.

3. Patients with benign bone tumors do not need drug treatment after discharge, and patients with malignant tumors generally do not need anti-tumor drugs after discharge. For patients with pain caused by advanced malignant bone tumors, a three-level analgesia method can be used. Anti-inflammatory analgesics can be used in the early stage. If they are ineffective, non-morphine analgesics can be used, and morphine analgesics can be used later.

4. After surgery for benign bone tumors, check once a month. If benign bone tumors have not been treated surgically, pay attention to the local situation. If the tumor suddenly increases or the pain worsens, go to the hospital in time for treatment until it is cured. After surgery for malignant bone tumors, check once or twice a month in the early stage, and then check once a month.

Through understanding the above content, I believe that everyone has also mastered the nursing knowledge of lung cancer metastasis to bone tumors. I hope everyone can pay attention to their condition, actively cooperate with treatment, and do a good job in every aspect of treating the disease.
