Activity Rationale and Purpose
A team of an oncology advanced practice nurse, a physician assistant, and a pharmacist discuss the importance of the interprofessional approach to supportive care in patients who may experience chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). The authors use a case study to illustrate models collaborative care; discuss physiologic mechanisms of CINV, principles of antiemetic prevention and management, and current standard-of-care antiemetic management; review and formulate pre- and post-chemotherapy assessment models that stress continuation throughout the period of delayed and breakthrough CINV and integrate self-care measures. In addition to outlining limitations of currently available evidence-based antiemetic therapies, the authors review pipeline approaches to CINV treatment and end with collaborative identification of other important measurable outcomes to the efficacy of antiemetic therapies.
Intended Audience
The program’s target audience consists of physicians, advanced practice nurses (nurse practitioners [NPs] and clinical nurse specialists [CNSs]), physician assistants, and pharmacists who focus on clinical practice and/or education in oncology or hematology care settings.
Learning Objectives
- Review physiologic, drug, and patient factors as they relate to risk calculation and assessment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV)
- Discuss current standard-of-care interventions for moderately and highly emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC and HEC) and clinical or economic factors that could limit best antiemetic use
- Summarize drugs and products in development that aim to enhance CINV prevention and management
- Engage in a collaborative discussion to develop strategies to maximize CINV management
