Breathlessness represents a significant problem for the person with advanced cancer. Uncontrolled breathlessness ranks highly in terms of uncomfortable symptoms experience, causing pain and distress to the patient and resulting in significant anxiety to their carers. The key to the provision of effective care lies in the informed application of the nursing process, underpinned by a sound knowledge base in relation to the nursing management of breathlessness.
