Evidence-based oral care for oral mucositis

Michele Farrington et al. ORL Head Neck Nurs. 2013 Summer.

Abstract

Nurses must intervene to provide evidence-based supportive care and symptom management for cancer patients. Oral mucositis, a distressing side effect of cancer treatment, is both a research and clinical priority. Nurses can lead improvements with evidence-based oral mucositis interventions. This article describes application of evidence-based clinical recommendations for oral mucositis across diverse patient populations.
