State Board Nursing Practice Standards And Organizational/Governmental Policies

To fight against cancer, the US government established the National Cancer Act of 1971, which intends to modify the Public Health Service Act to support the National Cancer Institute and efficiently foster the national effort to fight against cancer (Polite et al., 2017). Additionally, this act was set up to grant contracts for research, increment research amenities, lead cancer control exercises, set up a global cancer research information bank, and give research grants. It was also established to team up with other government, state, or public organizations and private industry to enhance the healthcare fight against cancer.

Additionally, in providing health care for cancer patients, the World Health Organization has established a cancer nursing curriculum, which includes cancer education programs to nurses. This program aims to ensure fitness to its member countries by creating cancer awareness to the public. Cancer awareness provides the necessary information to cancer patients and the families providing care to them, making them know better-living ways and accepting their conditions.

Cancer specialists’ champions for oncology exercise and advise the US government on essential cancer care changes. Advancements in chemotherapy use and knowledge in evidence-based chemotherapy care may not be provided to workers at the local, regional or provincial levels if this change is not considered (Shafter et al., 2018).

Healthcare workers work in diverse and occasionally divided medical surroundings, teams, and laws to offer cancer chemotherapy care. These nurses have variable access to the procedures, ethics, education, continuing capability programs, and the chemotherapy proficiency required for best practice. Hence, these standards and values are needed to provide healthcare to cancer patients.

The patients receiving cancer chemotherapy and their families must recognize the self-care required throughout patient treatment and know-how to acquire resources to manage problems carefully (O’Regan et al., 2019). In the pediatric patient’s event, the patient’s family or caregiver must understand how to get the resources necessary to manage issues. Normally the period for extreme possible harmfulness from cancer chemotherapy happens when the patient is at home.

The healthcare team must offer care to the individual getting treatment and passing the necessary information to carry out the role. Education and training are vital to getting this knowledge. This intervention should enable cancer patients to get quality health care and create a suitable environment for them to recover. Intervention may also provide protective care to patients and even reduce the patient’s family’s bills.

Proposed Intervention To Address Patient Health Problem

Cancer treatment is a bit more expensive for most people. In our case, the family of the cancer patient has undergone a financial crisis. This is because the cancer patients have to undergo chemotherapies regularly, hence leaving them in unstable conditions. This intervention will lower the risk that most families may undergo in treating their patients.

Intervention that may be done includes establishing free cancer screening clinics, which will enable in detecting cancer in the early stages. Family mobilization to buy medical covers for their families may reduce the costs of treating cancer patients as the hospital bills will be catered for by the insurance companies. 

Education and training are also another way of intervention. It makes the public know the precautions and ways to follow to avoid getting cancer (Alkaraz et al., 2020). Patients getting cancer chemotherapy and their household members must know the self-care needed throughout medication and recognize how to acquire resources to manage difficulties.

How Technology, Care Coordination And Community Resources Will Be Applied

Technology plays an essential role in enhancing healthcare. Technology has come with new ways to tame the immune system in the battle against cancer that will be curable. Therefore, technology can create cancer vaccines that prevent an individual from getting cancer and detect cancer early when it is curable. Technology has additionally come with CAR-T cell treatment (June et al., 2018). It comprises taking immune T-cells from the patient and genetically designing them to focus on a particular cancer antigen. CAR-T is changing the therapy worldview for cancer growth by focusing on explicit therapies to cancer cells. This is a tremendous invention in the fight against cancer in the future.
