Basic nursing care should achieve "six cleanliness" (cleanliness of the oral cavity, face, hair, skin of hands and feet, perineum, and bed unit), "five preventions" (prevention of bedsores, prevention of orthostatic hypotension, prevention of respiratory system infection, prevention of intercourse infection, and prevention of urinary tract infection), "three no's" (no feces, no falling from bed, no burns), and "one management" (dietary management).

6. Encourage patients to participate in normal life, take part in easy work, learn an appropriate amount of knowledge, and re-establish their own survival value through work and study.

What are the causes of liver cancer?

In recent years, mental factors have also become a predisposing cause of liver cancer. Surveys and studies of the social population show that as people's life pressure increases, the proportion of middle-aged, obese white-collar workers in my country who suffer from liver cancer due to overwork, mental stress, and staying up late is increasing year by year.

Hepatitis, alcoholism, fatigue and other bad habits make people most likely to get liver cancer. The liver is the most sensitive and fragile organ in the human body. Fatigue, staying up late and alcoholism can damage the liver. If a person does not get enough rest, such as not sleeping all night, the liver function test the next day will definitely be abnormal. This long-term damage will turn into chronic liver damage, which can easily lead to liver cancer.

In addition, white-collar workers who are under great work pressure and mental stress are in a sub-healthy state for a long time, resulting in low immunity and are also prone to liver cancer.

There are also dietary reasons. First of all, long-term alcohol abuse is the number one killer that damages the liver. This is because after alcohol enters the human body, it is mainly decomposed and metabolized in the liver. The toxicity of alcohol to liver cells causes liver cells to have obstacles in the decomposition and metabolism of fatty acids, causing fat deposition in the liver and causing fatty liver. The more you drink, the more severe the fatty liver will be. It can also induce liver fibrosis and then cause cirrhosis. Secondly, eating moldy peanuts, corn, and fried dough sticks cooked with gutter oil can also increase the incidence of liver cancer by 33% to 66%.

Because more than 70% of liver cancer patients are transformed from viral hepatitis, the prevention of liver cancer must first prevent chronic hepatitis and avoid unnecessary blood transfusions and injections.

Finally, you should also pay attention to self-protection, take a rest at ordinary times, and ensure enough sleep no matter how busy you are at work. Live a healthy life, work healthily, and avoid fatigue, mental stress and other four major causes of liver cancer!

How to prevent liver cancer:

1. First, throw away moldy food at home. Aflatoxin contaminating these foods can cause liver cancer. In areas with a high incidence of liver cancer, the degree of aflatoxin contamination is higher than in other areas. So eat more fresh food.

2. Maintain a healthy weight, neither too thin nor too fat, to prevent malnutrition or fatty liver disease.

3. Adjust your mentality when encountering problems. Wu Mengchao pointed out that people with a family history of hepatitis B virus infection, if not properly controlled, the chance of developing liver cancer is 20 times that of the average person. If coupled with a bad mentality, the chance is even higher.
