Which drug is most commonly associated with nausea and vomiting?

  1. Bleomycin

  2. Cisplatin

  3. Asparaginase

  4. Vincristine

The correct answer is: Cisplatin

Cisplatin is the correct answer because it is a chemotherapy drug that is well-known for causing significant nausea and vomiting as common side effects. These side effects often occur shortly after administration of cisplatin and can be severe. Bleomycin is more commonly associated with pulmonary toxicity, Asparaginase is known to cause pancreatitis, and Vincristine is more commonly associated with neurotoxicity rather than nausea and vomiting.
