Nursing Care for Cancer Patients

 This is the third step in the nursing process, where a comprehensive and individualized care plan is created for the patient, adjusted according to their needs. The planning process includes the following:

1. Setting priorities: These are issues that require urgent intervention and may threaten the patient's life. For example, if the patient is in pain, pain management is a priority. However, if there is internal or external bleeding alongside the pain, bleeding takes priority as it threatens the patient's life.
2. Setting goals: These are the desired outcomes of the plan, and they can be short-term or long-term goals.

The goal of the planning process for cancer patients is to help nurses identify priorities for evaluations and interventions for both short-term and long-term care goals
