Nurses are the healthcare professionals most likely to manage and care for the patient with symptoms of nausea and vomiting. This book provides an overview of the physiology and causes of vomiting, and can be used as a guide to dealing with a variety of different forms of sickness and subsequent complications. It includes specific sections on the most frequently occurring forms of sickness, natural or treatment-induced. Therapeutic management is discussed, but consideration is also given to the potential benefits of supportive techniques such as acupuncture and relaxation.
