What are the nursing measures for lung cancer patients? 5 nursing methods for lung cancer

Generally speaking, the digestive function of patients with early and middle stage lung cancer is not greatly affected and can be said to be relatively sound. However, a small number of patients also have metastasis. Therefore, if surgical treatment is used, nutritional supplementation is a key point in postoperative care measures, which can effectively control the metastasis of the tumor. The following is an introduction to the nursing measures for lung cancer:

1. Respiratory function exercises Patients who have undergone lung cancer resection should perform respiratory function exercises as soon as possible, do chest expansion exercises, and take deep breaths at the same time to increase ventilation function through chest expansion movements; do abdominal breathing, inhale deeply while lifting the chest, and exhale deeply while contracting the abdomen, to improve the effective capacity of the chest cavity and respiratory function.

2. Adjust diet and do proper exercise. Patients with long-term illness will become weak and consume more calories and protein, which can be regulated by supplementing diet nutrition and water. Lung cancer patients should have a semi-liquid diet rich in high calories, protein and vitamins, such as eggs, milk, lean meat, chicken, rice, pasta, rice porridge, fish, vegetables, fruits, etc. Absolutely quit smoking and prohibit excessive drinking, and avoid eating stimulating foods.

3. Pay attention to psychological care. The mental burden of cancer patients is imaginable, and they are prone to pessimism and world-weariness. First of all, patients should face the disease with strength, establish a firm belief in defeating cancer, and avoid negative emotions. On the other hand, friends and relatives of lung cancer patients should give more encouragement, and family members should observe and communicate with patients at any time.

Communicate with patients, pay attention to their psychological activities, always care, be considerate and comfort them, listen patiently to what they say, make them feel the warmth of their loved ones, avoid emotional fluctuations, eliminate worries, keep them in a good mood, arrange their daily life reasonably, and maintain the patients' hope of survival.

4. Follow-up observation of the condition Lung cancer patients should go to the hospital for regular check-ups after treatment. Generally, chest X-ray and liver B-ultrasound examinations are performed every other month after surgery. As time goes by, the interval between check-ups can be gradually extended. Do not be afraid of seeing a doctor. Go to the hospital for check-ups if necessary. Do not blindly take medicine or secret prescriptions for treatment.

5. Pay attention to the environment. The room where lung cancer patients live should be clean and elegant, and the surroundings should be quiet and avoid noise. Keep the air in the room fresh and sunny. Open the windows regularly to ventilate the room and avoid direct wind to prevent cold. Add or remove clothes and quilts at any time according to the temperature changes. The indoor temperature and humidity should be appropriate.

Although the digestive system of patients with early and middle stage lung cancer is relatively sound, in fact, lung cancer patients also need to pay attention to some dietary taboos, but it does not mean strict control, as long as there is no partiality. It is recommended to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and the dietary taboos are generally determined according to the patient's condition and are not fixed.
