What are the nursing methods for lung cancer? Three aspects of nursing should be done well after lung cancer is diagnosed

Lung cancer is a common type of cancer. Many people are very scared when they hear about this disease. In fact, the continuous progress of medicine in recent years has been able to alleviate this disease. Therefore, we should not be too anxious when facing the disease. Maintaining a good attitude is very helpful for the treatment of the disease. Let's take a look at the nursing care for lung cancer.

1. Psychological care

Patients undergoing lung cancer chemotherapy often have negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, pessimism and disappointment. We should communicate more with patients, introduce lung cancer chemotherapy regimens and common adverse reactions and countermeasures, help patients undergoing lung cancer chemotherapy build confidence in defeating the disease, maintain emotional stability and actively cooperate with lung cancer chemotherapy.

2. Diet care

Patients undergoing chemotherapy for lung cancer often suffer from malnutrition, poor appetite, weight loss, and low immune function. They should be given food that suits their taste, a reasonable diet, and a nutritious and easily digestible diet to ensure the quality and quantity of their diet. The diet should be high in calories, protein, vitamins, low in fat, and easily digestible. They should eat more fresh vegetables, beans, and eggs, and avoid irritating foods.

3. Skin care

Lung cancer chemotherapy may cause hair loss, etc. Explain clearly to the patient that there is no need to worry too much. After stopping lung cancer chemotherapy, the lost hair will grow back. For seriously ill patients, move their limbs regularly, turn them over and rub their backs regularly, and massage the pressure areas and bony protrusions at any time to prevent the occurrence of bedsores.

Lung cancer is not an ordinary minor disease, so we must pay great attention to this disease in our lives; if you find yourself unfortunately suffering from this disease, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible to receive regular treatment, and during the treatment period, you must also provide good psychological care, dietary care, and skin care for the patient, so as to stay away from the disease as soon as possible.
