1. Diet care:

The first is the dietary care of the patients. We know that the diet of lung cancer patients is very important at all times. A reasonable diet for patients with advanced lung cancer before and after surgery can enhance the patient's tolerance and reduce postoperative complications. The diet during radiotherapy and chemotherapy can alleviate the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and improve the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Even in the most serious stage of the late stage, a reasonable diet can improve the patient's clinical symptoms and alleviate the patient's pain.

2. General care:

Secondly, the daily general care for lung cancer is mainly for patients who can do slight activities. They can be accompanied to walk slowly, stroll, and stretch their muscles and bones, but not excessively. For patients with advanced lung cancer who are in pain due to tumor infiltration, their pain relief needs should be met as much as possible, and they should not be afraid of the addictiveness of narcotic analgesics, so as to improve their quality of life.

3. Comfort care:

For lung cancer patients in the advanced stage, with rapid disease progression, weak constitution, malnutrition and long-term bed rest, the patients' fatigue and discomfort are getting worse day by day. The following measures are taken: Create a comfortable ward environment for patients to increase their psychological comfort. In the layout of the ward, try to meet the hobbies of patients as much as possible, place red roses and green plants that patients like to appreciate in the room; provide appropriate temperature, humidity, light, and regular ventilation; keep the environment quiet, control visits, and reduce any external stimulation to patients.

4. Symptom care:

The nursing care of patients should also be based on their symptoms. If patients with advanced lung cancer cough and have phlegm, they should be encouraged to cough it out by themselves. If they have difficulty expectorating, they can be patted on the back to help expectorate. If necessary, a sputum suction device can be used. When resting and sleeping, pay attention to lying on one side with the head tilted to prevent suffocation by phlegm. If the patient suddenly loses his/her voice, changes his/her complexion, or stops breathing, it is necessary to report to the doctor immediately for emergency rescue. For patients in pain, their pain relief requirements should be met as much as possible. Don't be afraid of the addictiveness of narcotic analgesics to improve their quality of life.

Lung cancer patients also need good care during surgical treatment. Effective care can not only relieve the patient's pain, but also be of great help to the patient's early recovery and saying goodbye to lung cancer. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone should smoke and drink less and develop good living habits.
