Feedback:
Offer clear liquids such as carbonated beverages and water, ice pops, and flavored gelatin until nausea subsides. Thereafter, small, frequent, low-fat meals help prevent nausea, improve nutritional intake, and reduce weight loss. Milk, pudding, and chicken are too heavy when clients are experiencing nausea and may be given after the nausea subsides.
