Nausea and Vomiting:<br />
Simple Interventions<br />
• Ensure medication is correctly taken, perhaps after<br />
meals<br />
• Refer to Doctor immediately, if medication is<br />
suspected<br />
• Encourage 1/2 cup of fluid every hour or so (best<br />
tolerance is achieved by cold clear sweet fluids<br />
and then anything the client likes)<br />
• Then encourage small quantities of plain dry or<br />
sweet biscuits, dry bread, progressing through<br />
plain foods according to appetite<br />
• Recommend small frequent snacks throughout the<br />
day, building up to the usual pattern<br />
• Anti-nausea tablets (for example, Maxalon) may<br />
be used before food<br />
Monitoring: until nausea and vomiting cease<br />
Check outcomes: no further episodes?<br />
