Introduction Recovery nurses are usually the first health care team to immediately assess for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) following any type of surgical procedure. Literature suggests that the incident of nausea and vomiting particularly those who fall into the high-risk category have a 60-70% chance of experiencing these uncomfortable sensations following surgery (Chandrakantan & Glass, 2011).
