| Popis: | Objectives To discuss the roles of advance practice nurses in radiation oncology. Data Sources Published articles and textbooks, personal communications, and authors’ experience. Conclusion Radiation oncology advance practice nurses (NP and CNS) are becoming essential members of the multidisciplinary team, with distinct roles and responsibilities. Providing direct patient care, involvement in specialized procedures, and conducting initial and/or follow-up visits allows advance practitioners to become more involved with patients undergoing radiation therapy. Implications for Nursing Practice As more combined modalities are being offered to patients undergoing oncology treatments and the complexity of patients are becoming more difficult, advance practice nurses can add value to the workload, quality patient care, and make a difference in patient’s lives. |
