Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vomiting medication immediately after administration could be an indication of an adverse reaction, ineffective medication or an incorrect dosage, and it should be reported to the person in charge promptly. In order to avoid double dosing or administering an ineffective medication, it is best to seek medical advice before administering the medication again. Furthermore, administering another dose before knowing the cause of vomiting can further exacerbate the patient's condition.
