One nursing consideration to consider for a patient undergoing chemotherapy is diet. Nitipir et al. (2017) say that chemotherapy induces neutropenia, making a patient susceptible to infections. Therefore, nurses should ensure that patients are taking vegetables and fresh food that boost patients’ immunity. Another issue is allergic reactions. Allergic reactions can interfere with the chemotherapy treatment, and the nurse has to closely monitor the patient to ensure that allergic reactions do not interfere with the treatment. Duration is another crucial nursing consideration. Administering chemotherapy for a shorter or longer period influences toxicity.
