Activity Description

Nausea is a commonly encountered symptom in healthcare that is difficult for any patient. Causes may be as simple as the body's defense against an ingested toxin to a complex association set of signals activated by motion, medications, anesthesia, position, stress, pregnancy, psychiatric disorder, or fear. Multiple or single neurohumoral pathways may be involved. Indications for the treatment of symptoms require astute evaluation by the treating provider. This activity reviews the indications, contraindications, activity, adverse events, and other critical elements of antiemetic therapy in the clinical setting as relates to the essential points needed by members of an interprofessional team managing the care of patients who experience nausea and vomiting as part of a clinical presentation.
