Administer odansetron prior to administering the 5-fluorouracil. The nurse should give or administer odansetron before giving the 5 fluorouracil because it is a medication used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery and it is also useful in gastroenteritis.
