Abstract
This project aimed to promote early identification and treatment of stomatitis in patients with cancer receiving head and neck radiation and chemotherapy. A literature review revealed criteria for identifying high-risk patients, interventions to minimize risk, oral assessment tools, treatment protocols, and instructions for a comprehensive oral examination. Thorough and accurate oral care assessments by RNs, promotion of oral care protocols, and early patient education will improve symptom management and quality of life in this population.
