Abstract
Postdischarge nausea and vomiting (PDNV) is a serious threat to the recovery of ambulatory surgical patients. Pharmacological interventions available before discharge are not readily available to the patient after discharge; therefore, the activities that patients perform to manage new-onset PDNV may affect their surgical recovery. Assembled from a comprehensive study of PDNV, this paper describes the self-care activities that ambulatory patients use to manage new-onset nausea and vomiting after discharge. The findings have implications for patient education and future research.
