How Do Nurses and Nurse Practitioners Enhance Patient Education and Support?
Patient education is a critical component of cancer care. Nurses and NPs provide detailed information about the disease, treatment options, potential side effects, and self-care strategies. They also offer emotional support and counseling, helping patients and their families navigate the complexities of cancer diagnosis and treatment. This education and support empower patients to make informed decisions and adhere to their treatment plans, improving outcomes and quality of life.
