Changes

the time between future screenings depends on the
results of the PSA blood test: PSA of less than 2.5 ng/mL
may only need to be retested every 2 years. Screening
should be done yearly for men whose PSA level is 2.5
ng/mL or higher.
How do we manage the nursing care of a patient who
has fatigue secondary to their cancer and treatment? -
.....ANSWER ...✔✔ - Allow rest
