Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

2.0K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Ethical Issues

Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

6.4K
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

6.2K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

2.1K
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Techniques of Therapeutic Communication II: Focusing, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

11.9K
Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Palliative rehabilitation, focused on function for advanced cancer patients, needs a clear definition and integrated models. Addressing barriers can improve quality of life and symptom management through underused manual therapies.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Palliative Care
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Palliative care acceptance offers opportunities for rehabilitation in advanced disease, especially cancer.
  • Lack of a shared definition and misaligned service models impede palliative rehabilitation delivery.
  • Existing models often fail to meet the complex needs of patients with advanced cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a definition for palliative rehabilitation in advanced cancer patients.
  • To identify barriers hindering the integration of rehabilitation services in palliative care.
  • To highlight the importance of function-directed care for patient autonomy and quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis and synthesis of existing literature and clinical practice.
  • Proposed definition based on patient-centered values and dynamic symptom contexts.
  • Identification of historical and systemic barriers to rehabilitation uptake.

Main Results:

  • Palliative rehabilitation defined as function-directed care in partnership with other disciplines for patients with serious illnesses.
  • Outcomes in inpatient palliative rehabilitation settings are under-scrutinized compared to outpatient programs.
  • Barriers include linear disablement models, clinician unfamiliarity, and patient/physician expectations.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating rehabilitation into palliative care requires addressing historical barriers and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue.
  • Manual rehabilitation modalities are effective, drug-sparing for symptom alleviation, yet underused.
  • Optimizing patient autonomy and quality of life necessitates considering function alongside symptom and mood management.
