Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Administering an antiemetic 1-2 hours before chemotherapy is the best action in this scenario as it helps prevent nausea and vomiting during and after chemotherapy. Administering a sleeping medication during chemotherapy may not be safe or effective in preventing nausea and vomiting. Increasing fluid intake to flush the kidneys prior to chemotherapy and restricting food on the day of chemotherapy are not effective measures for preventing nausea and vomiting.
