◉ ONS Evidence-Based Practice Resources.
Answer: Evidence-based practice can have positive effects, such as:
Improved patient outcomes
Increased nurse satisfaction
Potential cost savings
◉ Risk Factors For Colon Cancer.
Answer: Increased age is a risk factor for developing colorectal cancer.
The chance of developing colorectal cancer increases markedly after age
50. Roughly 9 out of 10 people diagnosed with colorectal cancer are at
least 50 years old. Smoking, alcohol intake, and a personal history of
polyps are all things that increase risk. Other risk factors for the
development of colorectal cancer include:
Racial and ethnic backgrounds (African Americans and Jews of Eastern
European descent [Ashkenazi Jews] have highest incidence)
Diet high in red and processed meats
Physical inactivity, obesity
Type 2 diabetes
Family history of colon cancer or inflammatory bowel disease
, Inherited familial syndromes (FAP, HNPCC)
◉ Patient Education on Chemotherapy.
Answer: Patients are provided with verbal and written or electronic
information as part of an education process before the first
administration of treatment of each treatment plan. The content of this
educational material will be documented. Educational information
includes the following at a minimum:
Patient's diagnosis
Goals of treatment; that is, cure disease, prolong life, or reduce
symptoms
Planned duration of treatment, schedule of treatment administration,
drug names and supportive medications, drug-drug and drug-food
interactions, and plan for missed doses
Potential long-term and short-term adverse effects of therapy, including
infertility risks for appropriate patients
Symptoms or adverse effects that require the patient to contact the
healthcare setting or to seek immediate attention
Symptoms or events that require immediate discontinuation of oral or
other self-administered treatments
Procedures for handling medications in the home, including storage, safe
handling, and management of unused medication
Procedures for handling body secretions and waste in the home
Follow-up plans, including laboratory and provider visits
Contact information for the healthcare setting, with availability and
instructions on when and who to call
