How Can Cancer Patients Use Protective Equipment at Home?
Cancer patients may also need to use protective equipment at home, especially if they are undergoing treatment that compromises their immune system. This can include:
- Masks: To protect against airborne infections. - Gloves: When caring for wounds or handling bodily fluids. - Hand Sanitizers and Disinfectants: To maintain hygiene and reduce the risk of infections.
Patients should receive training from their healthcare providers on the proper use and disposal of protective equipment.
