She has heard that taking ginger can without side effect and wants to know what you think about that. You ask your supervisor but she isn’t sure either, but says that several other nurses have asked her about. She raises the issue in the staff meeting and the decision is made to develop an informational sheet for patient considering taking to control nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy.. You and two other nurses volunteer to look at the research evidence and develop a protocol draft. Put this clinical question in PICOTS format so you could look for research evidence about to use as a basis for the information sheet.
