Encourage patients to eat nutritious food, drink plenty of water and fresh fruit juice rich in potassium ions, and assist patients in formulating a reasonable diet.

2. Master skilled operation techniques and protect small veins: Skilled operation techniques and painless injection techniques can reduce patients' fear of chemotherapy. Nursing staff should master skilled operation techniques and rich business knowledge, and select superficial veins of the affected limb in a planned manner.

Medical data preparation: For breast cancer chemotherapy care, the patient's height and weight should be measured, and blood routine, electrocardiogram, liver function, kidney function and other testing materials should be prepared.
