    Las náuseas y el vómito son síntomas desagradables frecuentes en el paciente pediátrico con quimioterapia, a menudo tratados con medicamentos antieméticos, para prevenir o disminuir este efecto incapacitante, sin embargo, estos síntomas pueden ser abordados con la Teoría de los Síntomas Desagradables, valorando factores físicos, psi-cológicos, situacionales que facilite la planeación e intervención efectiva del cuidado de enfermería en el manejo del paciente oncológico.

    La interrelación teoría-práctica, permite usar la valoración de enfermería en los pacientes pediátricos con diagnóstico oncológico disponiendo de la propuesta teórica de los síntomas desagradables para justificar el cuidado en postulados de teóricas de en-fermería con las necesidades reales de los niños.
