po fluids for gastric cancer patient
|
|
I'm reading a review on the care of the patient with gastric cancer who is undergoing radiation or chemotherapy. The book suggests offering orange or grapefruit juice to minimize nausea and vomiting. Is there a particular reason for suggesting these juices? I would think that they would be poorly tolerated in a patient with gi problems. Wouldn't clear liquids be a better choice?
Thanks for your insight.
