High-quality nursing care in clinical nursing of patients with osteosarcoma

Some osteosarcoma patients recover quickly during treatment and the treatment effect is good. In the end, these patients feel that their recovery is inseparable from the quality of care. So what kind of nursing measures and methods can be considered high-quality? Today we will talk about high-quality care in the clinical care of osteosarcoma patients.

In the clinical care of osteosarcoma patients, what is considered high-quality care? Let's take a look:

1. When it comes to the care of osteosarcoma patients, psychological care is probably the most important thing. Therefore, psychological care is the key to care. Nurses must do a good job of explaining, especially for patients with malignant osteosarcoma who often have psychological reactions such as fear and pessimism, to eliminate patients' concerns and actively cooperate with treatment.

2. Diet care: After the operation, the patient should be temporarily fasted or fed liquid or semi-liquid food according to his/her condition. Afterwards, the patient is encouraged to eat high-protein, high-calorie, high-vitamin and easily digestible food, eat more fruits and vegetables, and drink more water.

3. Daily care: For orthopedic patients, especially those who have to stay in bed for a long time after surgery, nursing staff should strengthen their inspections, assist patients in washing and defecation, and provide skin care twice a day. If conditions permit, assist in turning over, patting the back, washing hair and taking a bath.

4. Functional exercise: Encourage patients to perform functional exercise within the permitted range to prevent muscle atrophy, joint stiffness and venous thrombosis. 48 hours after surgery, start to exercise muscle contraction and relaxation, and prohibit activities that affect bone and muscle stability. 3 weeks after surgery, joints distal and proximal to the surgical site can be moved, but without weight bearing. 6 weeks after surgery. Perform whole body and key joint activities. Gradually increase the intensity. Physical therapy, massage, etc. can also be used as an aid.

Nurses who can achieve the above four points can be considered as high-quality care in the clinical care of osteosarcoma patients. I hope everyone can do these points to help osteosarcoma patients achieve the goal of recovery as soon as possible.
