D

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Prochlorperazine (Compazine) is a commonly used phenothiazine administered for nausea and vomiting related to radiation therapy. Metoclopramide is a prokinetic agent that increases GI motility and the rate of gastric emptying by increasing the release of acetylcholine from nerve endings in the GI tract. Mesna is used for thrombocytopenia. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid.
