Caring for patients who receive chemotherapeutic agents is among the most challenging and potentially rewarding dimensions of oncologic nursing practice. The nurse must possess sound knowledge of not only the biologic and behavioral sciences, but also of current oncologic nursing practices, pathology, and the pharmaceutics of antineoplastic drugs. However, comprehensive nursing care must counterbalance clinical expertise with sensitivity to the unique problems patients with cancer and their families experience. Because the nurse is often the only health care professional with whom the patient and family have consistent contact, clinical expertise and sensitivity are of critical importance to the well-being of patients and their families during therapy. Through accurate, ongoing assessment and identification of problems, prompt recognition of learning needs, and intelligent, supportive, and creative interventions, nurses can do much to assure that patients and families receive the comprehensive care to which they are entitled. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss essential aspects of antineoplastic drug therapy and the important role of the nurse in caring for patients receiving this type of treatment.
护理接受化疗药物治疗的患者，是肿瘤护理实践中最具挑战性且可能最有意义的工作之一。护士不仅必须具备扎实的生物科学和行为科学知识，还需了解当前的肿瘤护理实践、病理学以及抗肿瘤药物的药剂学知识。然而，全面的护理必须在临床专业知识与对癌症患者及其家属所经历的独特问题的敏感性之间取得平衡。由于护士通常是患者及其家属唯一保持持续联系的医疗保健专业人员，临床专业知识和敏感性对于患者及其家属在治疗期间的福祉至关重要。通过准确、持续的问题评估与识别、及时认识学习需求以及明智、支持性和创造性的干预措施，护士能够在很大程度上确保患者及其家属获得他们应得的全面护理。本文旨在讨论抗肿瘤药物治疗的基本方面以及护士在护理接受此类治疗患者中的重要作用。
