Nursing Intervention to Reduce Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting
Introduction Intervention by Advanced Practice Nurses to Reduce Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting Patients who get chemotherapy that is moderately or highly emetogenic have nausea and vomiting 70 percent to 90 percent of the time (Steger, 2021). Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a term used to describe nausea and vomiting that might develop as a result of the chemotherapy treatment. Patients’ quality of life and ability to adhere to treatment can be adversely affected by these side effects. Anorexia, poor performance, metabolism imbalance, wound infection, esophageal rips, and nutritional inadequacy can arise from vomiting and nausea. Despite advancements in the prevention and control of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), these adverse reactions continue to be among the most upsetting for patients (Steger, 2021).
