| Discipline: | Nursing | | Subject Definition: | Oncologic Nursing-Education; Radiation Oncology-Educ-Outline | | NLM Class: | WY 18.2 | | LC Class: | RC266 | | Abstract: | Caring for an individual receiving radiation therapy as part of overall cancer care requires a patient-focused approach. To support this patient population, nurses across treatment settings must constantly expand and refine their knowledge of advancements in radiation therapy technology, research, and evidence-based practice. In this fifth edition of the Oncology Nursing Society Manual for Radiation Oncology Nursing Practice and Education, nurses of all experience levels will advance their knowledge of radiation biology and protection, diverse radiation therapy modalities, combination treatments, site- and disease-specific issues, symptom management, special populations, and much more. |
