Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Administering an antiemetic 1-2 hours before chemotherapy can help prevent or decrease nausea and vomiting that the client may experience after chemotherapy. Increasing fluid intake cannot prevent nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy. Restricting food can cause further nausea and vomiting, and administering a sleeping medication during chemotherapy is not appropriate as the client needs to be awake and alert during the procedure.
