sleep disturbances
BG changes
mood changes
dyspepsia

33

list the meds included in IV high emetic chemo and how often they’re included

A

5HTRAs always
NK1RA usually
olanzapine sometimes
dex usually

3-4 drugs

34
Q

list the meds included in IV med emetic chemo and how often they’re included

A

5HTRAs always
NK1RA sometimes
olanzapine rarely
dex usually

2-3 drugs

35
Q

when should a pt receive 3 antiemetics for a IV-MEC chemo

A

if using oxaliplatin or carboplatin

36
Q

list the meds included in IV -LEC emetic chemo and how often they’re included

A

5HT3RA usually
dex sometimes
1-2 drugs

37
Q

what is the usual dex dose for AINV

A

8-12mg 30-60min pre (8 for LEC)
might have 8mg f2-3d post if mid-high

38
Q

what is the usual dose for ondansetron for AINV

39
Q

what is the usual dose for granisetron for AINV

40
Q

what is the usual dose for palonosetron fro AINV

41

42
Q

what is the usual dose for netupitant

43
Q

wha tis the usual dose for olanzapine

A

5-10mg f4d

44

46
Q

nonpharm measures for breakthrough AINV

52
Q

prochlorperazine AEs

A

constipation, xerostomia, drowsiness, EPS

53
Q

prochlorperazine DIs
