Complex Care for Lung Cancer Patients: Physical and Psychological Symptoms and Interventions

Complex Care

Case
John Smith case has been suffering from Lung Cancer with Bone and liver metastases,
where the patient needs specific care plan to be transferred from acute care to home in
community. Patient has been previously treated with chemotherapy and palliative radiotherapy
diagnosis, where within old age nursing care is highly essential. Treatment of chest infection and
symptom management needs to be identified, as John faces severe back pain and abdominal pain
due to diseases. There are various physical symptoms as well as psychological symptoms faced
by individual, where analysis and diagnosis of all specific interventions should be done. John
has been also going through anxiety issues, where psychologically it has been traumatic for
undergoing continuous treatment and excessive medication. Research will further enable to
identify physical symptom and psychological symptom diagnosis, and work on towards optimum
productive aspects of high quality care interventions. John needs to be given medical treatment,
for improvised health standards significantly and gaining positive recovery from cancer illness.
Identifying two key areas which are physical symptoms and psychological
aspect
Physical symptom (Fatigue)
John faces fatigue due to lung cancer and chemotherapy sessions, which is physical
symptom and has lowered effective living conditions, along with overall wellness. The patient
has been suffering from low stamina, where recent detreating palliative care phase of illness has
further increased fatigue within individual (Rajasekar and et.al 2021). Chest infection and sever
back pain, right sided abdominal pain has also increased fatigue in John where physical
symptoms have further also lowered physical wellness within individual. Liver metastases, has
also increased fatigue in John where excessive medication and loss of appetite significantly
lowered efficiency in overall wellness.
The pathophysiology of lung cancer in physical symptoms can be analyzed within
individual with increased chest pain, persistent breathiness and tiredness due to lack of wellness.
There is also significant increase in body cells, which functionally impacts contribution of lung
cancer identification advancing over time. Fatigue is one of the most significantly found

physical symptom, where it lowers efficiency within life parameters. Lung cancer also leads to
breathing issues, loss in body fitness which leads to fatigue within body and specific treatment
should be given. With lower stamina and fatigue in physical parameters, John need to undergo
pharmacological intervention under specialist doctor supervision which will further enhance
overall wellness (Greenhalgh and et.al 2021).
The pharmacological interventions for fatigue reduction in lung cancer plays strong role,
where namely modafinil and methylphenidate needs to be given. Clinical nursing interventions,
plays crucial role for assessing cancer patients. Pharmacological intervention plays profound role
for reducing fatigue symptom in individual treatment, to ensure possible control and intervention
to further improvise physical wellness. Medical drugs should be supervised by experienced
doctors, for improving patient fitness and also evolving towards further treatment. Medication
and high quality care delivery, will enable fatigue to be lowered and be improvised within John
overall wellness for gaining recovery.
Evidence
As per the views of Lee and et.al (2021), lung cancer treatments requires proper
systematic identification of physical symptoms and medical diagnosis within initial periods for
further improvement in physical fitness. The research also enables to gain functional knowledge
related to specific pathophysiology prospects, which further has examined focus on medical
wellness scenarios. Pharmacological intervention enables medication to be significantly given,
for proper identification of medical assistance for recovering. Researcher has also presented in
detail analysis on liver metastases increases pain within abdominal areas, further leads to fatigue
within body physically (El-Hussein and et.al 2021). There is also excessive rise on less stamina
factors, with increased pain and fatigue due to cancer and liver metastases where patient needs to
be given specific medical care for recovering from physical fatigue. Also, proper nutrition
should be prescribed for combating fatigue in patient which further enables to improvise specific
healthy living goals and to bring on new lifestyle practices. It can be also analyzed within depth,
that cancer treatment i.e chemotherapy reduces physical wellness in individual and further also
reduces activeness within life.
