Moreover, many patients today receive outpatient chemotherapy as well as inpatient chemotherapy, and treatment is expected to shift even further toward an outpatient setting. Patients undergoing outpatient chemotherapy continue their daily lives at home while receiving treatment. Continuing to work and keep house, while experiencing the adverse effects of treatment often imposes a major burden on patients. The rehabilitation staff should determine which activities a patient considers to be important in his or her life so that the patient can recognize their own symptoms and acquire his or her desired ADL, with the rehabilitation staff proposing activities that will help the patient to do what he or she wants to do. Giving the patients the sense that they are able to control their own activities in this way is an important link to preserving their self-confidence.
