Cancer Nursing is a bi-monthly peer-reviewed nursing journal covering problems arising in the care and support of cancer patients from prevention and early detection to all treatment modalities, and specific nursing interventions.
Most chapters within a unit are organized as follows, although there are some exceptions. Nursing-sensitive patient outcomes (NOC) are discussed before interventions. This is because in the sequence of clinical reasoning desired outcomes are identified prior to selection of interventions to achieve the outcomes.
Laryngeal cancer may spread by: direct extension to adjacent structures, metastasis to regional cervical lymph nodes, or via the blood stream. The most common site of distant metastases is the lung. Laryngeal cancer occurred in 177,000 people in 2018, and resulted in 94,800 deaths (an increase from 76,000 deaths in 1990).
Patients described feelings of connection when nurses hugged them or put a hand on their shoulder. [19] Psychiatric nurses in Berg and Hallberg's study described an element of a working relationship as comforting through holding a patient's hand. [16] Patients with depression described relief when the nurse embraced them. [17]
Laryngeal cancer begins in the larynx, or "voice box", and is the second most common type of head and neck cancer encountered. [5] Cancer may occur on the vocal folds themselves ("glottic" cancer) or on tissues above and below the true cords ("supraglottic" and "subglottic" cancers, respectively).
The management of schizophrenia usually involves many aspects including psychological, pharmacological, social, educational, and employment-related interventions directed to recovery, and reducing the impact of schizophrenia on quality of life, social functioning, and longevity.
Laryngectomy is the removal of the larynx.In a total laryngectomy, the entire larynx is removed (including the vocal folds, hyoid bone, epiglottis, thyroid and cricoid cartilage and a few tracheal cartilage rings) with the separation of the airway from the mouth, nose and esophagus. [1]
Hypopharyngeal cancer is a disease in which malignant cells grow in the hypopharynx (also known as the laryngopharynx) the area where the larynx and esophagus meet. [ 1 ] It first forms in the outer layer ( epithelium ) of the hypopharynx (last part of the pharynx), which is split into three areas.
