A newly diagnosed patient with squamous cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) is anxious about having to take chemotherapy. The intervention by the nurse that would be helpful is to:
1.   support the patient in preparation for surgery.
2.   educate the patient regarding the high survival rate with this type of carcinoma.
3.   assure the patient that chemotherapy and radiation are seldom used in this sort of cancer.
4.   refer the patient to the American Cancer Society for postdischarge follow-up.


This is for my medical nursing class
