Encourage patients to do what they can to relieve the negative emotions caused by recurrence and metastasis, and to develop a self-care mentality, such as practicing qigong, taking a walk, listening to popular science knowledge, and keeping in touch with the news. When lying down to rest, they should maintain a comfortable lying position, usually lying on the left side or lying on the back, to prevent the gallbladder from being compressed. This is one of the key points in the care of elderly patients with gallbladder cancer.

Nursing for elderly patients with gallbladder cancer also includes dietary adjustment: gallbladder cancer patients have difficulty digesting and absorbing food due to poor bile secretion, especially fatty foods.
