What are the nursing care for patients with advanced lung cancer? There are three types of nursing care for patients with advanced lung cancer

Because nowadays many young people usually do not pay attention to their living habits, and always think that smoking and drinking are just showing off. In fact, regular smoking and drinking are extremely harmful to our body and can easily cause lung cancer. So let's take a look at the care of patients with advanced lung cancer.

1. Psychological care

Lung cancer is a psychological blow to any patient. Long-term psychological depression caused by the disease is more harmful to physical health, so psychological care for patients with advanced lung cancer should be carried out first. Many patients with lung cancer will experience sadness, fear, anxiety and other psychological states in the late stage. Some patients will become indifferent and lonely. Family members need to have a high sense of responsibility and sympathy, and strive to provide a harmonious and warm environment for patients so that their bad psychological state can be mediated.

2. Diet care

As the saying goes, food is the first necessity of the people. If you develop good eating habits and eat scientifically and regularly to supplement the nutrients needed by the body in time, your health will be guaranteed. Lung cancer is very destructive to the patient's body, so dietary care is also an important part that cannot be ignored. Lung cancer patients need to supplement enough calories to facilitate the body's adjustment. When the calorie supply is insufficient, they need to take certain drugs to supplement calories to promote muscle protein synthesis. In addition, patients also need a balanced supplement of other nutrients.

3. Medication

If you have lung cancer, you must take medicine, otherwise it is difficult to effectively control and alleviate the disease. There are many drugs used to treat lung cancer clinically, so drug conditioning for patients with advanced lung cancer is also a key content of nursing. Western medicine works quickly, but the efficacy is unstable, has certain side effects, and is prone to recurrence of symptoms. Patients can use traditional Chinese medicine with stable efficacy for care.

If lung cancer reaches the late stage, we should not only actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, but also pay attention to the patient's psychological care, not letting the patient always have wild thoughts and think about unhappy things. In addition, we should also be careful not to smoke and drink, and eat more light food.
