[Oncologic day hospital].
Due to its physical and psychosocial complexity, cancer requires forms of treatment which are becoming more diverse all the time and which involve a growing number of specialists in all fields. Nursing occupies a very important place in the care of these patients, and inside of the ambulatory care which nurses deal in, nurses are in charge of informing and caring for patients receiving chemotherapy. We develop a nursing care plan based on the most common problems or complications such as secondary effects of new generation cytostatic drugs, but one can extrapolate from those already known. We use the NANDA diagnostics and we keep in mind that almost all of the problems which we deal with are interdependent.
