A primary healthcare provider recommends that an adolescent with the diagnosis of osteogenic sarcoma have the affected leg amputated and then be treated with chemotherapy. the parents are concerned about what to tell their child and ask the nurse for advice. what should the nurse suggest they discuss?

Respuesta :

The nurse should advice that honesty had a big role in helping the adolescent accept the loss of the leg; discussion about chemotherapy make it simple and short because otherwise the adolescent may be overwhelmed. A theoretical discussion and detailed information will not be heard or understood during a crisis situation.
