Marijuana use in relieving some of the side effects of chemotherapy
The Director of Oncology Nursing has asked you to speak to the nursing staff and some of their patients about the potential value of marijuana use in relieving some of the side effects of chemotherapy. The nursing staff has received many questions about this subject from a number of patients. The staff wants to be able to provide accurate information to them. You have agreed to meet with them. In preparing for this meeting, you are to complete two (2) tasks.
| Part A | Prepare a set of questions and concerns the nursing staff and patients would probably want answered by the end of the meeting. Keep in mind that the nurses and patients may have different, and in some cases, competing concerns. List at least three (3) questions and three (3) concerns for each group under the following three (3) categories: nursing, patients, and shared. | |
| Part B | Prepare a detailed outline of the presentation you will make to this group. Describe the content you will include that addresses the questions and concerns that you identified in Part A. Add information to your presentation that the group may not ask, but which you believe is important for them to know. | |
