Abstract
Cancer is a significant health problem in the UK today and according to Redfern and Ross (1999) is a major cause of mortality in the ageing population. Brooker and Nicol (2003) added that cancer is a medical diagnosis that covers the most distinctive diseases. Cancer Research Campaign (1999) highlighted that the most common people diagnose of cancer are those people over sixty years of age. Whilst Cancer Research UK (2004) states that sixty-five per cent of all cancer occurs in people over the age of sixty-five. Cancer is the most frightening disease and anyone can be diagnosed with it, regardless of their age. However, in this assignment the author will only be focusing on one aspect of nursing care for older adult. The author will focus on the palliative care for patients whose suffer from nausea and vomiting as a symptom of cancer.
