1. Basic nursing
If patients with advanced cancer are weak and unable to get up and move, the probability of oral complications and bedsores is quite high, so oral care should be given to patients every day, and peanut oil or olive oil should be applied to patients' lips to prevent chapping.
In order to prevent bedsores, patients should be helped to change their positions every 2 hours. Use towels, pillows and air cushions to pad the heel, ankle joint, hip joint and other parts prone to bedsore, regularly scrub and massage the parts with prominent bones, and keep clothes, quilts and mattresses clean. If there are wrinkles, dirty and wet, they should be sorted and replaced in time to reduce the occurrence of bedsores and cross-infection.
2. Diet care
Due to long-term consumption, most patients with advanced stage are malnourished, and combined with the application of chemotherapy drugs, they often have poor appetite. Therefore, patients should be given light food with rich nutrition and easy digestion, which is best in line with patients' tastes, and at the same time, ensure that the food is full of color, smell and taste, so as to enhance patients' appetite and eat more fruits and vegetables.
At the same time, create a good dining environment for patients, encourage patients to eat more, eat less and eat more meals, or take high-nutrient nasal feeding and intravenous high-nutrient infusion when necessary to supplement nutrition and maintain electrolyte balance in the body. Encourage patients to exercise in bed. If they can exercise in the fields, they can do Qigong and Tai Ji Chuan. To regulate healthy qi and their mental and physical conditions.
Stop the pain
Pain is the most painful for patients with advanced cancer, and some patients rely too much on drugs to achieve the purpose of relieving pain. In this case, family members should patiently explain, comfort the patient, distract the patient's attention and let him be psychologically satisfied. At the same time, family members should master the law of patients' pain, remind doctors in time, and give drugs about 1 hour before the onset of pain to relieve patients' pain.
4. Psychological care
Due to the development of the disease, patients often lose confidence in treatment and even have suicidal thoughts, especially the psychological reaction of patients with advanced cancer. According to clinical observation, patients' psychological behaviors include hope, denial, depression, anger and struggle.
Therefore, family members should keep abreast of patients' psychological conditions and carry out considerate psychological care, such as heart-to-heart communication, comforting patients, helping patients build up their confidence in life, and let the light of hope fill patients' final life stage.
5. Home care
Cancer has brought strong shock, great pain and heavy economic burden to patients and their families. Patients are psychologically fearful and pessimistic, and are generally eager to reunite with their loved ones, hoping to enjoy family happiness at the last moment of their lives.
Therefore, family members should always stay with patients, chat and recall the good times spent together, so that patients can always feel the warmth of their families, reduce their psychological loneliness and desolation, and let them die peacefully and without complaints.
If it is completely blocked and you can't eat, you need surgery. If it is not blocked, it can be treated with pure Chinese medicine. Never use radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Nine times out of ten, people who do this will die. A director of the oncology department of western medicine said to me, "if I have a tumor, I'd rather stay at home and wait for death." If you engage in radiotherapy and chemotherapy, you will earn more money, and the patients will work hard, and eventually you will die. "
