Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
With the patient's first treatment history and the emetogenic chemotherapy agent, cisplatin, ondansetron has shown to be the most effective for prevention of severe nausea and vomiting. Prochlorperazine and anticholinergic agents are not used for the treatment of CINV. The ondansetron should be administered 1 hour before the chemotherapy and continued for the next several days to prevent vomiting and dehydration associated with chemotherapy administration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
Interventions to help relieve symptoms associated with GERD include cessation of smoking, avoidance of NSAIDs, and use of nonfat milk. Coffee should be avoided completely. Protein foods should be increased.
