Dexamethasone 8 mg orally (PO) for 2 to 3 days post chemotherapy- Metoclopramide 10 mg PO one to two tablets every 4 to 6 hours when required

but does not really help for his nausea although he does not experience vomiting, what will be the nursing intervention as a nurse after considering the MASSC anti-emesis tool?Is he having delayed nausea?

( he is on adjuvant chemotherapy that includes Fluorouracil and have already had his first cycle of chemo, on 8th day)
