Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary treatment for nausea and vomiting is to identify and eliminate the underlying cause. It is important to assess for medication side effects, gastrointestinal disorders, and other possible causes. Once the cause is identified, appropriate interventions can be implemented. While replacement of fluids may be necessary, it is not the primary treatment. Encouraging the client to lie still or providing soft foods may not be appropriate depending on the cause of the nausea and vomiting.
