The best response by the nurse would be to encourage the patient to talk to the doctors right away about starting treatment. It is essential for the nurse to establish a good relationship with the patient and family during the initial visit to involve them in the decision-making process, educate them on how to prevent and manage treatment toxicity, and identify new symptoms. The nurse should facilitate information about the treatment, including plan and logistics, explain the toxicity, and resolve all doubts or concerns that may appear. The nurse should also monitor the patient's condition before and after starting treatment. Nurse-led case management has been shown to offer more timely treatment, as the nurses communicate with patients about the importance of starting treatment. The oncology nurse and cancer patient relationship involve both people working together to get through chemotherapy treatments and beyond, with close collaboration with the physician.
