Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Nursing for an Elderly Cancer Patient with Herpes Zoster Based on the "Zang-Fu Interconnection Theory"
This paper summarizes the clinical diagnosis, treatment and nursing experience of an elderly cancer patient with herpes zoster in the bladder meridian as the main manifestation. During the hospitalization, characteristic traditional Chinese medicine interventions including pricking bloodletting, scraping and ginger-separated moxibustion were carried out for the patient based on the TCM "Zang-Fu Interconnection Theory", and comprehensive nursing measures such as condition observation, daily life nursing, diet nursing and medication nursing were supplemented at the same time. After systematic intervention, the patient recovered completely without postherpetic neuralgia, and the intervention effect was remarkable.
