Historically, outpatient oncology settings have not hired new graduate RNs (NG-RNs). However, with staffing shortages, outpatient oncology clinics have hired NG-RNs who required orientation from formal onboarding programs. Us.

During the past decade, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the landscape of cancer treatment. ICI-related side effects occur via direct overactivation of the immune system, and patients can experience sym.

Friends and family members of patients with cancer are increasingly relied on to perform critical multifaceted roles in home-based care, such as appointment scheduling and transportation. The demands associated with this ongo.

Background: Patients with advanced cancer may receive cancer treatment that does not reflect their values because they may not be completely aware of what is important to them regarding treatment-related decisions when they are diagnosed.

Objectives: The purpose of this review was to determine whether existing values assessment tools can improve awareness of treatment-related decisional values in patients with advanced cancer.

Methods: PubMed®, CINAHL®, and PsycINFO® databases were searched for original English-language articles evaluating values assessment tools that could be used to assess patients with advanced cancer. The quality of the identified tools was evaluated using selected International Patient Decision Aid Standards instrument, version 3.0, criteria.

Findings: All tools identified are appropriate for use in patients with advanced cancer. Two scored at least 80% on the selected International Patient Decision Aid Standards criteria. The Short Graphic Values History Tool was developed with patient and clinician input and may be particularly useful for low-literacy patient populations with advanced cancer. No values assessment tools have been identified specifically for use in patients with advanced cancer.

A combination of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) is a first-line combination chemotherapy regimen for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has many nursing implications. Understand.

Modifiable risk factors such as tobacco and alcohol use, obesity, sun exposure, and infections account for 40%-50% of all new cancer diagnoses and all cancer deaths in the United States (American Cancer Society [ACS], 2023).

The provision of trauma-informed care (TIC) is the clinical standard when caring for patients who have experienced sexual trauma. TIC encompasses five core principles (safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness, and empow.

IV oncology treatments are associated with severe side effects (SEs) that can decrease patients' quality of life and lead to increased hospitalizations. However, improved reporting with remote monitoring systems (RMSs) may.

Background: Patients with cancer have unique health literacy needs that affect health outcomes. In regard to breast cancer, Black women are more commonly diagnosed with high-grade breast tumors and have increased mortality rates.

Objectives: This review examines the role of health literacy and discusses health disparities that affect cancer health literacy and health behaviors in Black women with breast cancer.

Methods: A literature search was conducted using CINAHL®, PubMed®, Ovid®, and Google Scholar™. A total of 12 studies were identified and included in the final review.

Findings: Women with breast cancer in racial minority groups are less likely to report knowing or answering questions correctly for multiple tumor characteristics, have a lower quality of life related to low health literacy levels, and are at an increased risk for inadequate health literacy because of socioeconomic inequities. Unmet health literacy needs can potentially to lead to poor self-management, poor medication adherence, increased hospitalizations, negative perceptions of health, and compromised quality of life.

Background: Globally in healthcare delivery, inpatient falls and fall-related injuries contribute to unsafe patient care environments. On two inpatient oncology units, the frequency of patient falls had increased, despite the use of a fall screening tool.

Objectives: This project aimed to determine whether implementing the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) 3B Scheduled Rounding Protocol would reduce the average daily fall rate and number of fall-related injuries on two adult inpatient oncology units.

Methods: This quantitative, quasi-experimental quality improvement project evaluated the implementation of the AHRQ protocol to reduce the average fall rate and number of fall-related injuries for adult patients with cancer.

Findings: The average daily fall rate decreased following implementation of the AHRQ protocol, indicating clinical significance. This project's results suggest that implementing a standard fall prevention protocol can reduce the rate of patient falls.
