Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To identify the clinical manifestations, risk factors, secondary complications, and assessment and management of oral mucositis. DATA SOURCES: Professional journals, websites, and books. CONCLUSION: Secondary consequences of oral mucositis include infection, xerostomia, hemorrhage, and nutritional deficits. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Nurses should have an extensive knowledge base about the appropriate interventions that can be used to alleviate or lessen the consequences often associated with oral mucositis.
