  • Title: Managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
    Author: Adams L.
    Journal: Prof Nurse; 1993 Nov; 9(2):91-4. PubMed ID: 8234387.
    Abstract:
    1. Nausea and vomiting can further debilitate patients in whom physical and psychological status is already compromised, and may seriously diminish their quality of life. 2. A number of nursing, psychological and pharmacological measures can be employed to reduce these side-effects. 3. While conventional anti-emetics have afforded some control of emesis, the 5-HT3 antagonists have proved to be effective and well-tolerated agents.
