Discussion on the key points of thyroid cancer nursing

The occurrence of thyroid cancer is more common in modern times. After suffering from thyroid cancer, we must first have confidence in the cure. While actively undergoing treatment, we must also pay attention to daily care, which can help the treatment to achieve the best effect. However, we are not very clear about how to care for thyroid cancer patients. So let’s discuss the key points of thyroid cancer care below.

Symptomatic care, when using Western medicine for diagnosis and treatment, attention should be paid to the age, gender, and condition of the patient when choosing thyroid drugs. During diagnosis and treatment, attention should be paid to observing changes in the patient's condition, whether there is allergy to thyroid drugs, drug rash, liver damage, leukopenia, and regular review of liver function and blood routine. When using traditional Chinese medicine for diagnosis and treatment, attention should be paid to the method of decocting and taking medicine, and the contraindications during the medication process.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a person's mental state is closely related to the body's internal organs and blood, and that a person's emotional activities are closely related to the function of the heart and spirit. As long as the patient is full of energy and cheerful, the treatment effect is usually better, otherwise it is worse. For this reason, in nursing, we should care for the patient, talk to the patient more, understand the patient's mental state, and guide the patient to let go of his doubts.

Provide enough carbohydrates and fats. Carbohydrates and fats can save protein. If they are provided in sufficient quantities, protein can exert its unique physiological effects. Provide enough vitamins and inorganic salts. Vitamins and inorganic salts can regulate physiological functions and improve body metabolism, especially vitamin B and vitamin C. Sufficient calcium and iron should be provided to prevent deficiency.

Increase the intake of animal offal, fresh green leafy vegetables, and vitamin supplements in appropriate amounts.

Diet care, the food should be high in calories, protein, and vitamins, with the principle of proper intake of fat and sodium, eat less spicy and irritating condiments, the food should be soft, easy to digest, and rich in nutrition; do not eat too much high-iodine food, such as: kelp, seaweed, jellyfish, seaweed, and algae food, to prevent hyperthyroidism from being suppressed. Do not smoke, drink alcohol, strong tea, or coffee.

Proper rest and activity. When clinical symptoms are obvious, it is most important to rest in bed in time, especially to limit activity 1-2 hours after eating; when clinical symptoms are significantly improved, pay attention to rest and do appropriate activities or physical exercise, and avoid overwork; if there are no clinical symptoms and all laboratory tests are normal, there is no need to restrict activity.
