Q. A 50-year-old woman presents to her primary care physician with a three-month history of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal bloating. She reports that she has been feeling more nauseated than usual and has been vomiting several times a week, as well as experiencing abdominal bloating and discomfort. She also reports feeling full after eating only a small amount of food (early satiety). The patient's vital signs on presentation are: blood pressure 120/80 mm Hg, pulse rate 80 beats/minute, and respiratory rate 16 breaths/minute. Physical examination reveals a thin patient with a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Further evaluation reveals delayed gastric emptying on a scintigraphic study. What is the appropriate treatment for this condition?
