Abstract

The article discusses the clinical management of epidermal growth-factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRIs) dermatologic toxicities related to nursing. Nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment about individual, family or community responses to actual health problems. The potential for infection is stated to be high in cases where EGFRIs are combined with chemotherapy. Nurses are suggested to work towards proper patient education about rashes caused in the therapy.
