Nursing for potential complications of kidney cancer

Kidney cancer is a cancer disease. When such a disease occurs in a person, it will make the person's body become weaker and weaker. At the same time, such a disease is not easy to cure. In order to curb or improve such a disease, it is necessary to do a good job of nursing. So what are the nursing methods for potential complications of kidney cancer?

1. Psychological care for kidney cancer: When most patients suddenly learn that they have been diagnosed with kidney cancer, they cannot bear this vicious stimulation psychologically, and they show pessimism, disappointment, listlessness, insomnia, anorexia, etc. Nurses should deeply understand the psychological changes of patients, care for patients, and establish a good patient-nurse relationship with patients. Patiently explain the safety of treatment and the necessity of surgery to save lives, so that patients can stabilize their minds and cooperate with treatment.
2. Understand the pathological changes of the affected kidney and the function of the contralateral kidney before surgery. Explain the role of various tubes inserted after surgery and matters that need to be coordinated. In order to improve the patient's physical condition, in the care of renal cancer, patients should be encouraged to eat a high-protein, high-calorie, high-vitamin diet to correct anemia and hypoproteinemia.
3. Post-operative care should be provided by dedicated personnel, and vital signs should be closely observed: blood pressure, pulse, and respiration should be measured every 15 to 30 minutes and recorded until the patient is fully awake and the condition is stable. Change the measurement to once every 1 to 2 hours until the next morning.
