Because patients with cancer self-administer oral chemotherapy, they typically do not receive the same amount of teaching and monitoring as patients receiving i.v. chemotherapy. Patient education is vital to promote patient safety, optimal dosing, and adherence to the treatment plan. Oncology nurses need to tailor their patient education efforts to the individual needs of each patient and use resources such as medication information sheets to reinforce teaching. This article reviews the process of teaching patients about oral chemotherapy and discusses the unique patient education challenges associated with orally administered chemotherapy.
由于癌症患者自行口服化疗药物，他们通常无法获得与接受静脉化疗的患者相同数量的指导和监测。患者教育对于促进患者安全、优化剂量以及坚持治疗计划至关重要。肿瘤学护士需要根据每位患者的个体需求调整患者教育工作，并利用诸如用药信息单等资源来加强指导。本文回顾了对患者进行口服化疗教育的过程，并讨论了与口服化疗相关的独特的患者教育挑战。
