Summary NRS 410V Nursing Process: Approach To Care Pathophysiology And Nursing Management Of Client’s Health Week 3 Case study Mr. C. APPROACH TO CARE Nursing Process: Approach to Care “More than 1.6 million people are diagnosed with cancer, and almost 600,000 die from it, making it the nation’s second leading cause of death,” according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2020). Nurses have an essential role in the prevention and early detection of cancer, as well as the diagnosis and treatment by utilizing the systematic problem-solving method of the nursing process. The purpose of this paper is to diagnosis and staging of cancer; list complications, side effects of treatment, and methods to lessen the physical and psychological effects of cancer; discuss factors contributing to annual incidence and mortality rates; review education and support of by the American Cancer Society; utilization of the nursing process; and discuss how liberal arts and science studies contributes to nursing.
