If yellowish tinge is observed in a cancer patient's skin and sclera in eyes shows that the patient is suffering from jaundice. In many cancer patients, jaundice may occur that leads to yellow coloring of skin and eyes.

In such case, the nursing student should give follow-ups related to the disease jaundice. The patient should be given medication for the treatment of jaundice as soon as possible.
