What is cancer? How to prevent and treatment of it?

by Uncategorized
         •   What is cancer?
Cancer is a huge group of sicknesses which could begin in nearly any organ or tissue of the body when ordinary cells grow uncontrollably, go beyond their standard barriers to invade adjacent elements of the body and/or unfold to different organs. The latter method is known as metastasizing and is a major reason of demise from most cancers. Neoplasm and malignant tumor are different common place names for cancer.                                                  
Cancer is the second one main purpose of death globally, accounting for a predicted nine.6 million deaths, or Onegin six deaths, in 2018. Lung, prostate, , belly and liver most cancers are the maximum common types of most cancers in guys, whilst breast, colorectal, lung, cervical and thyroid cancer are the maximum common place amongst girls.                             
The cancer burden keeps growing globally, exerting tremendous bodily, emotional and economic stress on people, families, groups and health systems.  In international locations where fitness systems are strong, survival prices of many sorts of cancers are enhancing thanks to accessible early detection, first-rate treatment and survivor.
•   Treatment and prevention
Some types of cancer can be prevented by making lifestyle changes – this is known as primary cancer prevention. Tobacco-related cancers (such as lung cancer) account for nearly one-third of all cancers that are fatal. Therefore, quitting smoking is the key to preventing mouth, throat, esophageal and lung cancer. Avoiding and limiting sun exposure and using adequate protection (SPF lotion and sunscreen) in the sun will reduce your risk of developing skin cancer.  Diets high in fat have been linked to a higher risk of certain types of cancer (such as breast and prostate cancer).
Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and for some types of cancer, hormones or hormone blocking drugs are used to treat cancer. The goal of cancer treatment is to kill cancer cells while killing as few healthy cells as possible.
                               
1. Surgery is used to remove fused cancer cells. Many types of cancer are operated on. Surgeons also remove normal cells around cancer cells or tumors to see if the cancer has spread or not. After the cancer has spread, it is very difficult to undergo surgical removal of cancer cells.
2. Radiation is used to treat local cancer. Radiation therapy can take several forms. A beam of radiation can be directed at the skin near the site of the cancer. Radiation kills cancer cells. Unfortunately, it also kills healthy cells. Newer radiation devices are being upgraded by focusing radiation only on cancer cells and not normal cells.  These particles stick to cancer cells but not normal cells. Sometimes tiny radioactive particles are placed right in the organ next to the cancer, giving cancer cells a much higher radiation dose than normal cells.
3. Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses cancer drugs. It is often used when cancer has spread to several areas of the body. Many cancers use a combination of drugs because they work better than just one drug. The full response to chemotherapy is when all detected cancers are gone. However, some cancer cells may still remain in the body and not be found. As a result, cancer can grow back after a period of remission. Partial response is when the cancer has shrunk by 30% or more. Unfortunately, over time, many cancers have become resistant to cancer drugs. There are certain types of cancer (such as breast cancer) that are affected by hormones. They can be treated with hormones or hormone blocking drugs to slow their growth.
4. Genetic engineering is used to control genes that activate and deactivate cancer growth and to control enzymes that allow cancer cells to continue dividing and growing. Cancer vaccines, antibodies in combination with toxins, and chemicals that prevent blood vessel growth in cancer are some of the new developments being investigated in the fight against cancer.

521 Week 5 Field Activity Paper

by Uncategorized

 This paper will have three parts addressing two important pieces of legislation related to the right of individuals to make health care decisions for themselves.

Part I

The Advance Health Care Directive 

Locate a copy of an advanced directive (AD) that complies with the laws of the state in which you work. The organization in which you work should have a copy of an advance directive that is given to patients. If not, download your state’s Advance Directives here http://www.caringinfo.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3289.

Complete the advance directive for yourself.  Do not turn in your AD with your paper. The AD is for your personal use.

In your paper, Part I:

  1. Identify where you obtained the AD and explain its compliance with state law.
  2. Conduct research (1-2 sources) to learn more about the AD in your state and explain how it works.   
  3. Discuss how easy or difficult it was to complete the AD. Your comments should be specific and both objective and subjective. For example, when you state your personal feelings, you must relate them to the literature (textbook and research) that discusses this process and the difficulties that many people face when completing an advance directive.

(Cite/ reference any sources you use to explore these questions, including your texts.)

Part II

Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) Form

  1. What is a Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form?
  2. When should this form be completed?
  3. Who can complete the form?
  4. Who needs to sign the form to make it a legal document?

(Cite/reference any sources you use to explore these questions, including your texts.)

Part III

Tie the two first sections together by writing a summary and conclusion.

This section should address:

1. the differences between an Advance Health Care Directive and the POLST,

2. the RN’s important role in assuring the patient’s right to autonomy in choosing the healthcare interventions the patient does or does not want.

____________________________________________

Use current APA format.

The paper should be between 3-5 pages in length excluding the title and reference page(s). 

Cite and reference the course text and at least two (2) additional appropriate professional sources.   

Review the rubric for further information on how your assignment will be graded.

TOPIC CANNOT BE HEALTH ASSOCIATED INFECTIONS (HAI’s) 

  1. Download the EBP Change Process form (Links to an external site.) during Week 1. The use of this specific form is REQUIRED 
  2. Identify a clinical topic and related nursing practice issue you think needs to be changed. 
  3. Locate a systematic review on your topic from the CCN Library databases. Be sure this involves nursing actions.
  4. Work through each step of the ACE Star Model as outlined on the assignment form (Star Points 1-5: Discovery, Summary, Translation, Implementation, and Evaluation). Respond to the instructions provided on the form.
  5. Follow the activities and thinking of Nurse Daniel in Weeks 1-6 in the ‘Illustration’ part of each lesson. He will be working through a clinical topic and nursing practice issue to demonstrate a change (ACE Star Model and systematic review).
  6. Work on a portion of the process each week, as the illustration unfolds.

Scholarly Sources and Citations

  • Please cite any references (in APA format) of your systematic review or other scholarly document (optional) as needed.
  • Paraphrasing information, rather than quoting, is expected. No quotes for this assignment please!
