ÖZ ABSTRACTMucositis is the inflammation and ulceration of the mucous membranes in the oral and/or gastrointestinal tracts. Mucositis can increase the length of hospital stays, the risk of infection, and the need for total parenteral nutrition and opioid analgesics, which can all affect a patient's quality of life negatively. The use of evidence-based guidelines developed for prevention and treatment of mucositis is extremely important in clinical areas. Nurses play a significant role in implementing and evaluating evidence-based practice guidelines for managing mucositis.
