The occurrence and severity of nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapeutic drugs vary with the drug and individual patient. Instruct the patient to avoid fatty and greasy foods; to eat small but frequent meals; to avoid unpleasant sights, tastes, and odors; and to consider music therapy. Watch for electrolyte imbalance, offer a clear liquid diet in cases of severe vomiting, and plan on administering an antiemetic for 3 to 5 days. |
