Extract:
A school-age child with leukemia experienced severe nausea and vomiting when receiving chemotherapy for the first time.
Question 1 of 5
Which is the most appropriate nursing action to prevent or minimize these reactions with subsequent treatments?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer an antiemetic before chemotherapy begins. Administering an antiemetic before chemotherapy helps prevent or minimize nausea and vomiting, common reactions to chemotherapy. This action targets the root cause of the reactions by blocking the signals that trigger nausea and vomiting. Encouraging drinking large amounts of favorite fluids (
B) may not be effective in preventing these reactions. Offering frequent small meals (
C) may be helpful, but it may not address the underlying cause. Providing the child's favorite music (
D) may offer distraction but does not directly prevent or minimize the reactions.
