Education for the gastroenterology cancer patient
1Gastrointestinal Center, University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, USA.
Abstract:
Education for the adult gastroenterology cancer patient requires incorporation of standards of care from both an oncology and a gastroenterology focus. In addition, standards of oncology education and role delineations for the gastroenterology/endoscopy nurse provide optimal support for the nurse-teacher working with patients with cancer of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The development of a teaching plan and a philosophy for teaching provide the basis for the delivery of care relative to the learning needs of this patient population.
