Abstract

The reactions of individuals against chembtherapy side effects are different. Therefore, the nurse should teach the patient to use the techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation, systematic desensitisation, hypnosis, dietary adjustments and alteration, to prevent or minimize the chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. However, the patient must be willing to attempt alternative methods.
