Nursing rounds for patients with renal cancer

Kidney cancer patients lack disease-related knowledge, so the nursing work of kidney cancer requires targeted disease knowledge education, as well as communication and introduction with patients after recovery. What are the nursing rounds for kidney cancer patients? Let's learn about it together. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

1. Psychological care:
Most patients are not prepared for the fact that they are diagnosed with kidney cancer. They are unable to bear this vicious stimulation psychologically at first, and they show pessimism, despair, insomnia, anorexia, irritability, etc. Nurses and patients' families should deeply understand the psychological changes of patients, care for patients, give the greatest spiritual encouragement and establish a good patient-nurse relationship with patients. They should patiently explain the safety of treatment and the necessity of surgery to save lives, so that patients can be mentally stable and cooperate with treatment.
2. Understand the pathological changes of the affected kidney and the function of the contralateral kidney before surgery.
Explain the role of various tubes inserted after surgery and matters that need to be coordinated. In order to significantly improve the patient's physical condition and enhance the tolerance to surgery, encourage the patient to eat more high-protein, high-calorie, high-vitamin diets and correct anemia and hypoproteinemia.
3. After the operation, a dedicated person will provide care and closely observe vital signs: measure blood pressure, pulse, and respiration once every 15 to 30 minutes and record them until the patient is fully awake and his condition is stable, then change the measurement to once every 1 to 2 hours.
