Health care knowledge for lung cancer patients: Prevention of bedsores. Lung cancer patients in the advanced stage generally have poor nutritional status, sometimes with systemic edema, and are very likely to develop bedsores, which spread rapidly and are difficult to cure. It is particularly important to prevent bedsores. Reduce local pressure, change body positions on time, and use air rings, soft pillows, etc. to cushion the parts of the body that are prone to pressure to avoid long-term pressure. Keep the skin clean, especially for patients with incontinence, keep the bed clean and flat, and use a baking lamp to irradiate the broken skin to keep the local area dry.

Health care knowledge for lung cancer patients 2: Psychological care. Lung cancer patients in the late stage may have anxiety, fear, sadness and other psychological symptoms, and often appear indifferent and lonely. We must have a high degree of sympathy and responsibility, and strive to create a warm and harmonious recuperation environment for patients, place them in single wards, speak kindly, be sincere, encourage patients to express their psychological feelings, provide timely guidance, and actively introduce information about the improvement of their condition to patients.

Health care knowledge for lung cancer patients 3: Relieve symptoms. Fever is one of the main symptoms of lung cancer. Patients should be advised to keep warm and prevent colds to avoid pneumonia. For irritating coughs, cough suppressants can be given. When patients have persistent coughs at night, they can drink hot water to relieve throat irritation. If there is hemoptysis, hemostatic drugs should be given. If there is a large amount of hemoptysis, notify the doctor immediately, tilt the patient's head to one side, clear the blood in the mouth in time to prevent suffocation, and assist the doctor in rescue.

Health care knowledge for lung cancer patients 4: Observation of the condition. Lung cancer patients in the advanced stage often have metastases to different parts of the tumor, causing different symptoms, and should be observed and given corresponding care. For example, liver and brain metastases may cause sudden coma, convulsions, and blurred vision. Nursing staff should promptly detect and give symptomatic treatment. Bone metastases should strengthen limb protection. Abdominal metastases often cause intestinal obstruction. Patients should be observed for symptoms such as abdominal distension and abdominal pain. Due to weakness, fatigue, and reduced activity, patients often suffer from constipation, and should be given enema or laxatives in time. Edema may occur due to malnutrition and low plasma protein. Edema should be reduced by increasing nutrition and raising the affected limb.

In summary, the health care knowledge for lung cancer patients includes bedsore prevention, psychological care, symptom relief and condition observation. Doing well in the above four aspects will be beneficial to the early recovery of lung cancer patients.
