Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Baxter Retching Faces (BARF) scale	* Pictorial scale that was developed for use by pediatric patients in self-reported assessments of nausea severity * A patient will respond by choosing a picture or a number on the scale that best represents how they feel. The patient may speak or simply point to their response. While the numbers 0-2-4-6-8-10 are listed alongside the pictures, patients are also allowed to choose "in between" or odd numbers. If a patient is unwilling to participate, the patient's parent or guardian may serve as their proxy and choose a number for them, based off of their symptoms. * The BARF scale has 6 faces with assigned scores ranging from 0 to 10 with a score difference of 2 between each face (a higher score indicates more nausea).
