What are the routine nursing measures for lung cancer patients? It is recommended to use 3 measures to care for lung cancer patients

In fact, it is not only lung cancer patients who need our psychological care. Patients with any disease need our psychological care. For patients with lung cancer, if we want to take good care of the patients' psychological care, we need to give them the best treatment based on their specific condition. This requires us to learn to observe the specific clinical manifestations of lung cancer patients, but when it comes to specific nursing measures, let's see the following experts' explanation.

1. Psychological care: Communicate more with patients, establish a good nurse-patient relationship, correctly evaluate the current situation, and use appropriate language to inform patients of the diagnosis results based on the patient's psychological tolerance and personality characteristics. For patients who are unwilling or afraid to know the diagnosis, they should work with their families to adopt a protective medical system, reasonably conceal the diagnosis, help establish a good social support network, encourage family members and relatives and friends to visit patients regularly, and guide patients to experience the effects of treatment in a timely manner to increase their confidence in treatment.

2. Diet care: Develop a reasonable diet plan, such as a reasonable combination of animal and plant proteins. Those with dysphagia should be given a liquid diet. During chemotherapy, eat small and frequent meals and avoid overheated, rough, sour, spicy and irritating foods. Those with severe conditions should be fed or fed nasogastricly. If necessary, blood or plasma transfusions should be given as appropriate to enhance disease resistance.

3. When collecting sputum specimens, fresh sputum must be sent for examination in a timely manner. Otherwise, the cancer cells may dissolve on their own due to the sputum being left for too long, and the correct result cannot be obtained.

4. Patients should take medications on time, such as immunotherapy and Chinese medicine treatment during the intervals for patients undergoing chemotherapy; patients who continue chemotherapy should be informed of the time and precautions for the next chemotherapy, and make necessary preparations. For patients with advanced cancer metastasis, family members should be taught symptomatic treatment measures and the patients should go to the hospital for regular follow-up visits after discharge.

Although we have summarized the relevant knowledge on nursing measures for lung cancer patients, as the disease continues to develop, if we want patients to better understand the disease, we need to popularize relevant knowledge. However, with the increase in modern treatment methods, the treatment of many diseases has also increased accordingly. When we use drugs to treat lung cancer, we should also understand the relevant knowledge of the disease.
