Episode 234: Oncologic Emergencies 101: Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Purpura

<p>“Once patients come out on the other side, nursing care involves understanding how to triage their disease: If they call you with concerns, how would you address those concerns? How would you find out if there’s something going on? Just given how acute the onset is, a lot of these patients have some post-traumatic stress disorder, so there’s a lot of worried-well conversations, and in outpatients you need to figure out how to coordinate future care given their history of thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura (TTP),” ONS member Amanda Weatherford, MSN, RN, OCN®, clinical nurse coordinator at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, WA, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BC, AOCNS®, oncology clinical specialist at ONS in a conversation about nursing considerations to manage TTP.
