SOLVED1065
After treatment, the nurse should address immediate concerns such as bleeding, infection, respiratory status, pain, and circulatory issues. The patient will have many emotions before, during, and after treatment. Therefore, the nurse should encourage coping mechanisms, promote communication, leave room for concerns and questions, make the woman feel safe, and offer resources and information about peer support groups such as local breast cancer organizations. Additionally, the nurse should educate the patient about possible surgical site complications, report new onset of symptoms immediately to the health care provider, and continue self-care and monitoring of the breasts. A significant risk for breast cancer is increasing age as older women are more prone to development. Therefore, diagnostic screenings and treatment should be based on the patient’s history and genetic predisposition. With a breast cancer diagnosis, the essential aspects of care are to focus on the immediate needs of the post-surgical procedures while providing psychosocial and emotional support throughout treatment.
