Question:

Nursing management of Pt with nausea and vomiting

Author: Sherlyn



Answer:

Place pt in high-folwer's to reduce aspiration risk; provide emesis bag; remove any noxious stimuli (e.g. bed pans); administer anti-emetics, reduce oral intake until nausea is controlled (sips of water or ice chips for comfort only); for Pts with NGT - aspirate tube; listen for bowel sounds and check abdomen for distension (paralytic ileus?); check BGL as dysglycaemia can cause nausea
