Understanding nausea and vomiting in advanced cancer

Colin Perdue. Nurs Times. 2005 Jan.

Abstract

Nausea and vomiting are commonly experienced by people with advanced cancer. Nausea and vomiting can have an adverse effect on a patient's physical, psychological and social well-being. Knowledge of the physiology of nausea and vomiting will promote a rational choice of treatment. Nurses also need to be aware of non-pharmacological measures that can reduce these distressing symptoms.
