NURSING
AND PHYSICIAN ASSESSMENT
Medical/Lifestyle evaluation
OncoLogics' nursing
staff is dedicated to assisting its patients with any medical
questions or needs that may arise. A nurse will conduct a
complete medical history review, including current and prior
medications and physical conditions. They will discuss any
problems the patient may have and answer questions concerning
their health, diagnosis and treatment plan.
Physical Exam
The physician will conduct a complete
physical examination before treatment and will discuss the
diagnosis, appropriate treatment prescribed and other treatment
options which may be available to the patient. After the
exam, the nurse will provide instructions to the patient
for nutritional and dietary needs, proper skin care and any
medications that may be prescribed. Each patient is encouraged
to ask questions or express concerns they may have about
treatment or recommended procedures. The patient's understanding
is important to OncoLogics and essential to proper care.
Ongoing Care
During the course of treatment, the
patient will meet with his/her physician and a nurse once
a week to monitor their general health and make any needed
adjustments to the treatment plan. During these visits, the
physician will review the patient's progress and answer
any questions the patient may have regarding treatment or
medical needs. The patient's weight and vital signs will
be recorded, and blood may be drawn to evaluate the patient's
tolerance to the treatment prescribed.
To schedule an appointment, please call 800-237-2057.
