This article describes the nursing care, from April 16 to April 27 of 2019, of a patient with gingival cancer who suffered from oral mucosal damage, pain, and difficult mouth movement. During the two-week period of the nursing care, patient expressed discomfort related to oral mucosal damage and his caregiver also expressed concerns about the side effects from the concurrent chemoradiotherapy, which led to the conception of this paper. The author first identified the three main health issues of this patient, which were (1) the impaired oral mucous membrane, (2) readiness for enhanced knowledge, and (3) risk of infection by using the Gordon's 11 Functional Health Patterns Assessment; and the author executed related nursing plans including the teaching of oral care, oral exercise, wound care and infection prevention measures with an aim to achieve infection-free oral mucosal damage control and to improve the patient and caregiver's knowledge and caring skills on concurrent chemoradiotherapy. With the health education provided through the health education manuals and multimedia videos, the patient was able to fully obtain the nursing skills and related knowledge of concurrent chemoradiotherapy in a timely fashion before discharge. Patient expressed he was empowered with enough confidence to go through the course of cancer treatment. The author hope this nursing experience could serve as a useful reference to the clinical nursing care guidelines for cancer patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy and also for the main caregivers.
