What problem do caregivers of cancer patient experience?
Caregivers for cancer patients need to establish rapport with the medical team. The caregiver does not have the education that the medical health professionals have such that it is imperative that she asks questions on what to expect especially after medications had been administered to the patient. Oral medications are usually administered by the caregiver. It is important that the caregiver know what the medication is for, its side effects and signs to look for, for accurate reporting and documentation. The caregiver should also learn if not through self-study, through productive interaction with the allied health team as to the danger signs that should prompt the caregiver to call for emergency medical help for her patient.
It is these lack of knowledge or information that may impede the caregiver from functioning to their optimum level (but can be immediately addressed with a cooperative medical team)
