What are the nursing responsibilities in multiple myeloma?


nursing considerations, nursing care in patients with multiple myeloma

My wife get's irritated when I answer these. She says that you are lazy and you should research it yourself since it's part of your nursing program. Don't start taking shortcuts, it's a bad habit to get into.

Here's your answer; read it.

I think your best source of information would be a nursing textbook. You can find sites on Google that sell nursing textbooks new and used.

Wherever the nurse works (or nurses' aides, or health care techs, or doctors for that matter), there is already set in place the "Policies and Procedures" for what the duties and responsibilities of the staff are. Each care facility is different, for example, Trauma Level I, Trauma Level II, Skilled Nursing Facility, etc.

Check with the crisis management nurse/head.

HI,

MM is a very complicated cancer - each patient is different and has differnt symptoms and problems

bone breakage is huge, so is anemia and infection form surpressed white count.

there is a lot of information for caregivers at

www.myeloma.org

Now that I've read a few of these I realize you probably not a MM patient or a family member of someone with MM, but most likely a nursing student doing homework. Is that so?

This bums me out that you can just post this on Yahoo! Answers and someone will do your work for you. I did things the old fashioned way and worked my tail off.
