 Dialogue Conversation with An Oncologist on Cancer

In this conversation, the patient’s family member (attendant) talks to the doctor.
Doctor : So, what brings you here?
Attendant : Doctor, my father has been diagnosed with abnormal growth of cells in colon, which doctors so
far have confirmed as a case of cancer.
Doctor : What tests have you conducted?
Attendant : On the advice of doctors in Lucknow, we conducted blood tests, CT scan, and biopsy. We’ve
taken three opinions on the reports and all have opined colorectal cancer. Here are the reports.
(The doctor goes through the reports.)
Doctor : Yes, this looks cancerous. What we’ll do is admit him today itself and get few tests done. And
let’s meet tomorrow morning when you’ve the reports of these tests.
Attendant : OK. Thank you.
(The doctor writes his observations on his letterhead and hands it over to the attendant. The attendant then
gets the patient admitted and visits the doctor again the next morning with new reports in hand.)
Doctor : The cancer is just one stage before it’ll spread to other parts. In this case, the best course of
action is immediate surgery to remove the affected part followed by radiation therapy.
Attendant : How many days of hospitalization will be required?
Doctor : We can perform the surgery day after tomorrow. Thereafter, we’ll keep the patient under
observation for 4-5 days. Radiation therapy has become pretty standardized and therefore you can
get it done in any tier-2 city, which will not only be convenient to you but also reduce your expense.
Attendant : And for how long the patient will have to undergo radiation therapy?
Doctor : One dose every two weeks for three months. You need to visit the hospital only on days you
receive therapy. Once radiation therapy is done, you should consult an oncologist every three
months in the beginning and every year later on to check for remission of cancerous cells.
Attendant : OK. I’ve heard radiation therapy has side effects.
Doctor : Yes, radiation therapy has side effects. It can lead to hair loss, nausea, and loss of appetite.
Attendant : Thank you doctor. We’ll get him admitted today.

Support : Have you registered with us earlier?
Patient : Yes.
Support : Please show me your registration card. Or I can search for your details through your mobile
number.
Patient : That would be better. My mobile number is 989930xxx.
(She searches for the patient’s past records on her computer.)
Support : OK, I’ve found your details. You last visited us in August 2016.
Patient : That’s right.
Support : You can pay the doctor consultation fee here.
Patient : Sure. Here is my card.
(She swipes the card and hands over the invoice to the patient.)
Support : Pl take a seat, and feel free to help yourself with water, newspapers etc.
Patient : Thank you.
(After 15-odd minutes, the attendant calls the patient’s name, following which the patient proceeds to the
doctor’s cabin.)
Patient : Good morning doctor.
Doctor : Good morning. How’re you doing today?
Patient : I’m fine. Thank you. How about you?
Doctor : I’m good. So what brings you here?
Patient : I’ve come for a regular checkup for a suspected case of glaucoma. I don’t have it, but few years
back a doctor after examining my eye and knowing my family eye history advised me to undergo
precautionary checkup once a year.
(He puts the past reports on the table. The doctor peruses them.)
Doctor : I see that your optic nerve is thicker than the normal. That’s probably the reason why you were
asked to undergo precautionary tests every year. You can have the same two tests – visual field
analysis and OCT – today and once you’ve the two reports, we can meet again in the afternoon.
Patient : Alright.
(The doctor scribbles the names of the two tests on his letterhead and pushes it across the table.)
Patient : Thank you, doctor.
(The patient leaves the doctor’s cabin and again approaches the reception desk.)
Patient : I saw the doctor. He has asked for these two tests.
(He pushes the prescription towards the billing lady.)
Support : OK. The two tests will cost you xxx and you’ll get the reports in around two hours. Is that fine?
Patient : That’s fine.
(He slips his card toward her. She swipes it again and hands over the invoice a second time.)
Support : Please be seated there. Someone will call you for the first test in few minutes.
Patient : Thank you.
(Over the next two hours, he undergoes the two tests and receives the reports. Thereafter, he meets the doctor
again, this time with reports.)
Doctor : I hope you had a smooth experience going through those tests.
Patient : Yes, it was. And because I’ve taken these tests in the past too, I knew what was coming.
(The patient pushes the reports toward the doctor. The doctor pores through the pages, looking at the colored
images of the eye minutely.)
Doctor : Your reports are absolutely fine. Since these reports haven’t shown anything suspect in so many
years, I think you can now take these tests once in two years, and not once a year.
Patient : OK.
Doctor : Well, that puts glaucoma thing to rest. Does your work involve working on laptop for long hours?
Patient : Yes.
Doctor : In case your eyes get tired quickly, I would recommend xxx. It’s an eye drop, which you can use
2-3 times in the day. Our eyes get dry when we look at the computer screen without blinking for
long, a common reason for tiredness in eyes. This eye drop will lubricate your eyes.
Doctor : Do you’ve any other questions?
Patient : Yes. I see few thin, black, wavy structures floating in front of my eyes and they don’t disappear
even when I close my eyes. What are they? Are they harmful?
Doctor : They’re called floaters, and most persons develop them to different extent as they age. They’re
not harmful.
Patient : Thank you doctor. Thanks for your time.
Doctor : You’re welcome.

V NURSING
 WHAT IS NURSING
There are probably as many definitions of nursing as they are individuals nurses. Nursing has been
defines as: Giving assistance to person who are unable to meet their helm care needs (Orem, 1980).
Futhermore , Roy (1976) defines nursing is promoting a positive adaptation to chainging internal and external
environments. Then, according Dev Young (1981),
Nursing is the caring and nurturing of the physical, social, spirituall, cultural and emotional well- being of
an individual, family, or community.
Each of these definitions by nurse leaders is a statement of how individuals have viewed nursing. Each
definition has been studied, debate, and researched. Individuak shools of nursing and health care institutions
each select a definition that seems to best reflect the purpose of their uniique organization.
Other definitions of nursing which have widespread acceptance are put bforth bythe American Nurses’
Associations (ANA), the Canadian Nurses’ Associations (CNA), and the International Council of Nurses (ICN).
The ANA defined nursing practice as’, a direct service, goal oriented, and adaptable to the needs of the
individual, the family, and the community during health and illness.
“The CNA offers this definitions: “Nurse direct their energies toward the promotion, maintenance, and
restoration of health, the prevention of illness, the alleviation of suffering and the ensuring of a peaceful death
when life can no longer be sustained” The ICN states: “ The Unique function of the nurse is to assist the
individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to
peaceful death) that he would perform, unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge.”

VI The Medical History
Contextualising history taking

The context of history taking is key if appropriate and accurate information is to be obtained. The
process of history taking should be collaborative, involving the patient, family members and the nurse. This
rounded approach is useful in all care settings, but can be most effectively illustrated in the care of older
people.
The move towards more comprehensive geriatric assessment in the acute sector (Royal College of
Nursing 2004, Ellis and Langhorne 2005, Hickman et al 2007) highlight the importance of collecting a social and
biographical history, as well as diagnostic material typically found in admission paperwork. This information
informs medical staff, nurses and allied healthcare professionals about the wider circumstances surrounding
an individual's admission. The information gathered is not intended to be comprehensive at the outset, but
rather a starting point to inform subsequent interactions with the patient.
History taking of this nature is realistic in a busy admissions unit and provides a starting point for
obtaining a more complete picture of the individual on an incremental basis. Information about support
services may also be included in biographical notes, although many hospitals collect this information through
the more formal and systematic documentation typically found in admission paperwork.
In the context of residential or long-term care, the focus and requirements of history taking are
different. Biographical history can take precedence over diagnostic information, and timescales allow nurses
and care staff to complete patient histories over a longer period of time. Initial information sheets, sometimes
completed by family members, are often viewed as a starting point for a long and detailed life story, making
the process of history taking part of the developing therapeutic relationship between the nurse and patient,
and culminating in a useful biographical resource.

VIII Checking Vital Signs
Read the following text!
CHECKING VITAL SIGNS

Nurses play an important role in ensuring patient safety and having the knowledge and skills to identify
patients at risk of deterioration is vital. The accurate measurement of a patient's vital signs is important as
they give an indication of the patient's physiological state. I am aware that a patient's condition can change
rapidly and it is therefore essential that nurses are able to identify any deviations from the normal parameters,
as they can be an early indication of a change in the patient's condition. If these changes are not recognised
promptly, complications can arise and may lead to death.
Assessment tools
A track and trigger system is an early warning scoring chart that allows the practitioner to identify early
signs of deterioration and act accordingly. The patient's observations are recorded on the chart and given a
score. The scores are put into three categories that determine appropriate actions. The more stable the
patient, the lower the score, and the more acutely ill the patient, the higher the score.
Using the ABCDE (airway, breathing, circulation, disability, exposure) approach to patient assessment is
a thorough, systematic method of assessing and managing an acutely ill patient. This tool encourages the
assessor to use his or her senses to look, listen and feel to make a detailed assessment. This is followed by the
appropriate intervention to prevent further deterioration. The article highlighted the effectiveness of this
method and has encouraged me to adopt a more methodical approach when caring for acutely ill patients.
The ability to communicate assertively and effectively is extremely important in managing acute illness.
The SBAR (situation, background, assessment, recommendations) tool prompts staff to communicate precise
and relevant information and therefore receive the necessary support. Reading the article has re-enforced the
effectiveness of this tool and I intend to promote its proper use in the nursing team to ensure best practice.
With the permission of the charge nurse, I have placed a sticker on the ward telephone to encourage the use
of this tool.

Chapter IX
“TAKING BLOOD SAMPLE”
Objectives:
1. Understanding the blood sample safety

3. Be able to communicate using asking question with the patient .
IX Taking Blood Sample
PROGRESS IN BLOOD SAMPLE SAFETY

The blood supply plays a vital role in the American health system. Each year, Americans donate
approximately 12 million units of blood, which are processed into 20 million blood products. About 3.6 million
American receive transfusions of these blood products each year.
Although the blood industry is ultimately responsible for the safety of the blood supply, the Food and
Drug Administration is responsible for regulating the blood industry.
"Blood banking has become a manufacturing industry--an industry that must conform to high standards
and quality control requirements comparable to those of pharmaceutical companies or other regulated
industries," said David A. Kessler, M.D., FDA commissioner.
The technology of blood banking grew slowly in the early years of this century, then was markedly
stimulated by the needs of World War II. On May 3. 1946, the Public Health Service issued the first federal
license allowing an establishment to manufacture whole blood.
In the United States today, licensed establishments include more than 1,000 donor centers that collect,
process and distribute blood and blood products in interstate commerce under federal regulations.
Establishments not involved in interstate commerce are not licensed, but they register with and, like licensed
establishments, are inspected by FDA and are subject to the same high standards as licensed establishments.
The United States has the safest blood supply in the world, and FDA is striving to keep it safe by
decreasing the risk of infectious disease transmission. The agency is continuously updating its requirements
and standards for collecting and processing blood. The Blood Products Advisory Committee,
a group of outside experts, provides a broad perspective and state-of-the-art experience to issues
confronting FDA, so that the agency's final decision will reflect a balanced evaluation. Although FDA is not
bound to follow the advisory committee's recommendations, it usually does.
Ongoing improvements and refinements together with advances in technology and science promise
more sophisticated methods of blood collection and more accurate tests to protect the blood supply.
Nonetheless, blood and blood products are not entirely risk-free. There is a remote risk of infection with
serious blood-borne viruses such as hepatitis and HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. But for patients who need
blood transfusions, the risk of transfusion-associated disease is far less than the risk of dying or becoming
more seriously ill without a transfusion.
