Context:
Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells. Alimta is used in combination with cisplatin in patients who have not been treated before, and on its own in patients who have received another type of chemotherapy in the past. The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription. How is Alimta used? Alimta should only be given under the supervision of a doctor who is qualified in the use of anticancer chemotherapy. The recommended dose of Alimta is 500 mg per square metre of body surface area (calculated <t>using</t> the patient s height and weight). It is given once every three weeks as an intravenous infusion lasting 10 minutes.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "using" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence where "using" appears is: "The recommended dose of Alimta is 500 mg per square metre of body surface area (calculated using the patient's height and weight)." Here, "using" is related to the process of calculating the body surface area based on the patient's height and weight.

2. **Understanding the Word "using" in Context**: In this context, "using" implies employing or utilizing certain parameters (height and weight) for a specific purpose (calculating body surface area).

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=use%2:34:01::**: "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose." The synonyms are "utilize, utilise, apply, employ." An example is "use your head!"; "we only use Spanish at home." This sense fits the context as it involves employing something (the patient's height and weight) for a particular purpose (calculating body surface area).
   - **2. sense_key=use%2:34:02::**: Involves taking or consuming something regularly or habitually. This doesn't fit the context.
   - **3. sense_key=use%2:34:00::**: Refers to using something up or consuming it fully. This doesn't match the given context.
   - **4. sense_key=use%2:41:14::**: Involves seeking or achieving an end by using something to one's advantage. The context doesn't directly imply using something to one's advantage in this manner.
   - **5. sense_key=use%2:41:04::**: Means to avail oneself of something. While it involves application or utilization, it's broader and not as directly related to the specific action described as sense 1.
   - **6. sense_key=use%2:41:03::**: Refers to doing something habitually in the past tense, which doesn't fit the context.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**: The context clearly indicates that "using" refers to employing certain information (height and weight) to achieve a specific calculation (body surface area). The most appropriate definition is "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose," which corresponds to the first candidate sense.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "using" in the given context is the first one.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "patient" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information.

The context discusses the use of a medicine called Alimta, its application in treating certain types of cancer, and the recommended dosage. The sentence where the target word appears is: "The recommended dose of Alimta is 500 mg per square metre of body surface area (calculated using the patient's height and weight)."

The two candidate senses provided are:
1. A person who requires medical care.
2. The semantic role of an entity that is not the agent but is directly involved in or affected by the happening denoted by the verb in the clause.

Let's examine the context and the examples given for the candidate senses.

The context clearly refers to individuals undergoing medical treatment, specifically those receiving Alimta for cancer. The term "patient" is used in relation to their height and weight for calculating the dose, directly implying individuals under medical care.

The first sense, "a person who requires medical care," aligns perfectly with this context. The example given, "the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly," also supports this interpretation, as it refers to individuals requiring medical attention.

The second sense refers to a semantic role, which is more related to the grammatical or thematic role an entity plays in a sentence rather than a direct reference to a person under medical care. While "patient" can be used in this context in linguistic discussions, the given sentence context does not support this interpretation as it directly refers to individuals under medical treatment.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "patient" in the given context is the one that refers to a person requiring medical care.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "given" in the provided context, let's analyze the given information and the candidate senses.

The context is about the usage and administration of a medicine called Alimta. Specifically, it mentions that Alimta "is given once every three weeks as an intravenous infusion lasting 10 minutes." The task is to identify the most appropriate sense of "given" in this context.

First, we should understand the meaning of "given" in the context. The sentence implies that Alimta is administered or provided to patients through an intravenous infusion.

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:

- Sense 1: cause to have, in the abstract sense or physical sense. Examples include "She gave him a black eye; The draft gave me a cold." This doesn't directly relate to administering medicine.
- Sense 4: convey or reveal information. Example: "Give one's name." This is not relevant to the administration of a drug.
- Sense 19: give (as medicine). Example: "I gave him the drug." This directly relates to administering medicine.
- Sense 20: give or convey physically. Example: "She gave him First Aid; I gave him a punch in the nose." While this involves physical action, it's broader than just administering medicine.
- Sense 24: give food to. Example: "Feed the starving children in India." This is about feeding, not directly related to administering medicine.

Given the context that Alimta is a medicine and it's being administered intravenously, the most relevant sense is related to the administration of medicine.

The best match is Sense 19: "give (as medicine)" because it directly corresponds to the action of administering a drug.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "given" in the context is {"sense_index": 19}.

raw_output:
To determine the correct sense of the word "once" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information and the candidate senses.

The context is a medical text describing how Alimta is used, specifically stating that "It is given once every three weeks as an intravenous infusion lasting 10 minutes." Here, "once" is used to indicate the frequency of administration.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "on one occasion" with synonyms "one time, in one case" and an example "once I ran into her." The phrase "once every three weeks" fits this sense because it means Alimta is administered one time every three weeks.

2. The second sense is defined as "as soon as" with an example "once we are home, we can rest." This sense does not fit the context because "once every three weeks" does not mean "as soon as every three weeks."

3. The third sense is defined as "at a previous time" with synonyms "formerly, at one time, erstwhile, erst" and examples "at one time he loved her; her erstwhile writing." This sense does not fit the context because "once every three weeks" does not refer to a previous time in the past.

Given the context and the definitions, the word "once" is used to indicate that Alimta is administered one time every three weeks. This matches the first sense, "on one occasion."

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "once" in this context is the first one.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "every" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information.

The context is: "It is given once every three weeks as an intravenous infusion lasting 10 minutes."

The two candidate senses are:
1. Used of count nouns; each and all of the members of a group considered singly and without exception.
2. Each and all of a series of entities or intervals as specified.

The sentence implies that Alimta is administered at intervals of three weeks. The word "every" here is used to specify the interval or frequency at which Alimta is given.

The first sense refers to using "every" with count nouns, considering each member of a group individually without exception. An example given is "every person is mortal," which illustrates "every" used with a count noun.

The second sense refers to "every" used to denote a series of entities or intervals as specified, with examples like "every third seat" or "every two hours." This sense is about specifying a recurring interval or pattern.

In the given context, "every three weeks" specifies an interval, indicating that Alimta is administered once in every three-week period. This usage aligns with the second sense, as it denotes a series of intervals (three weeks) at which Alimta is given.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "every" in this context is the second one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "weeks" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The text discusses the usage and dosage of a medicine called Alimta. It mentions that the recommended dose of Alimta is given once every three weeks as an intravenous infusion.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "weeks," which is a plural form of "week." The context indicates a time interval ("once every three weeks").

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=week%1:28:00::**: This sense defines "week" as any period of seven consecutive days. The example given is "it rained for a week." This definition is broad and encompasses any seven-day period, not necessarily tied to a specific starting day.
   - **2. sense_key=week%1:28:01::**: This defines "week" in terms of hours or days of work in a calendar week, synonymized with "workweek." An example is "they worked a 40-hour week." This sense is related to the concept of a workweek.
   - **3. sense_key=week%1:28:02::**: This sense defines "week" as a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday, referred to as a "calendar week."

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context implies a regular interval ("once every three weeks") for administering a dose of Alimta. This interval is not necessarily tied to a specific day of the week (like Sunday) or to working hours/days.
   - The usage here aligns with the general concept of a week as a unit of time, not specifically to a workweek or a calendar week starting on a particular day.

5. **Decision**:
   - Given that the context refers to a general time interval and not specifically to working hours or a calendar week starting on Sunday, the most appropriate sense is the one that defines "week" as any period of seven consecutive days.

6. **Conclusion**:
   - The best indexed sense for "weeks" in the given context is the first one, as it aligns with the general understanding of "week" as a period of seven consecutive days.

The response should be in the format: {"sense_index": 1}.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the word "lasting" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information.

The context is about the usage and administration of a medicine called Alimta. The sentence containing "lasting" states: "It is given once every three weeks as an intravenous infusion lasting 10 minutes." Here, "lasting" describes the duration of the intravenous infusion.

The candidate senses provided are:
1. persist for a specified period of time
2. continue to live through hardship or adversity

Let's examine each sense in relation to the context:

1. "persist for a specified period of time" - This sense fits the context because "lasting 10 minutes" describes the duration of the infusion, indicating it continues or persists for 10 minutes. The synonym "endure" and the example "The bad weather lasted for three days" support this interpretation, as both involve something continuing over a specified period.

2. "continue to live through hardship or adversity" - This sense does not fit the context because the subject (intravenous infusion) is not living or experiencing hardship or adversity. The synonyms (survive, live, live on, go, endure, hold up) and examples ("We went without water and food for 3 days; These superstitions survive in the backwaters of America") relate to living through difficult conditions, which is not relevant to the duration of a medical infusion.

Given the context and the definitions, the first sense ("persist for a specified period of time") is the most appropriate for "lasting" as it correctly describes the duration of the infusion.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "lasting" is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "reduce" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "To reduce side effects, patients should take a corticosteroid and folic acid (a type of vitamin), and receive injections of vitamin B12 during treatment with Alimta."

Here, "reduce" is used in the context of minimizing or decreasing the severity of "side effects" associated with a medical treatment.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. "cut down on; make a reduction in" - This sense aligns with decreasing or minimizing something, in this case, "side effects."
2. Other senses relate to various meanings such as making something less complex, bringing to a humbler state, simplifying mathematical expressions, lowering in grade or rank, etc., which do not directly fit the context of minimizing side effects.

The synonyms provided for the first sense ("cut down, cut back, trim, trim down, trim back, cut") all convey the idea of decreasing or lessening something. The example "reduce your daily fat intake" illustrates a similar usage where "reduce" means to cut down or decrease.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "reduce" in the given context is the first one, which corresponds to "cut down on; make a reduction in."

To determine the correct sense of the word "patients" in the given context, let's analyze the information provided.

The context is about the usage and administration of a medicine called Alimta, which is used in anticancer chemotherapy. The text discusses the recommended dose, method of administration, and measures to reduce side effects.

The word "patients" is used in the sentence: "To reduce side effects, patients should take a corticosteroid and folic acid (a type of vitamin), and receive injections of vitamin B12 during treatment with Alimta."

Given the context, the word "patients" refers to individuals who are undergoing medical treatment, specifically those receiving Alimta.

Now, let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "patient" as "a person who requires medical care." The example given is "the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly." This sense aligns with the context provided, as the individuals being referred to are those receiving medical treatment (Alimta) under the supervision of a qualified doctor.

2. The second sense refers to a semantic role in a clause, specifically an entity that is not the agent but is directly involved in or affected by the action denoted by the verb. While this is a valid linguistic definition, it does not directly relate to the context of individuals receiving medical care.

Considering the context and the definitions provided, the word "patients" clearly refers to individuals who are receiving medical treatment. Thus, the most appropriate sense is the one that defines a person requiring medical care.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "patients" in the given context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "type" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about the usage and administration of a medicine called Alimta, including the recommended dose, method of administration, and supplementary treatments like corticosteroid, folic acid, and vitamin B12. The sentence where "type" appears is: "To reduce side effects, patients should take a corticosteroid and folic acid (a type of vitamin), and receive injections of vitamin B12 during treatment with Alimta."

Here, "type" is used to categorize or classify "folic acid" as a kind of "vitamin." Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=type%1:09:00::** - Definition: a subdivision of a particular kind of thing. Example: "what type of sculpture do you prefer?" This sense fits the context because "a type of vitamin" implies a subdivision or a category within the broader category of vitamins.

2. **sense_key=type%1:18:00::** - Definition: a person of a specified kind (usually with many eccentricities). This doesn't fit the context as "type" is not referring to a person.

3. **sense_key=type%1:14:01::** - Definition: (biology) the taxonomic group whose characteristics are used to define the next higher taxon. While this is a biological context, "type" here refers to a taxonomic classification, which is not the usage in the given sentence.

4. **sense_key=type%1:10:01::**, **sense_key=type%1:10:00::**, and **sense_key=type%1:06:00::** - These definitions relate to printed characters or metal blocks for printing, which are not relevant to the context.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense is the first one, which corresponds to **sense_index: 1**. This is because "a type of vitamin" is indicating a category or subdivision within vitamins, aligning with the definition "a subdivision of a particular kind of thing."

Target lemma: injection
Target surface form: injections
Context:
The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription. How is Alimta used? Alimta should only be given under the supervision of a doctor who is qualified in the use of anticancer chemotherapy. The recommended dose of Alimta is 500 mg per square metre of body surface area (calculated using the patient s height and weight). It is given once every three weeks as an intravenous infusion lasting 10 minutes. To reduce side effects, patients should take a corticosteroid and folic acid (a type of vitamin), and receive <t>injections</t> of vitamin B12 during treatment with Alimta. When Alimta is given with cisplatin, an anti-emetic medicine (to prevent vomiting) and fluids (to prevent dehydration) should also be given before or after the cisplatin dose.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=injection%1:04:00:: | definition=the forceful insertion of a substance under pressure
2. sense_key=injection%1:27:00:: | definition=any solution that is injected (as into the skin) | synonyms=injectant
3. sense_key=injection%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe | synonyms=shot | examples=the nurse gave him a flu shot

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "injections" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the administration of a medicine called Alimta, which is used under the supervision of a qualified doctor. It mentions that Alimta is given as an intravenous infusion and that patients should receive "injections" of vitamin B12 during treatment.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "injections." We need to understand how it is used in the context. The sentence mentions that patients should receive "injections of vitamin B12," indicating that vitamin B12 is being administered via injection.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=injection%1:04:00::**: This definition refers to "the forceful insertion of a substance under pressure." While injections do involve inserting a substance, the emphasis here is on the forcefulness and pressure, which is not explicitly highlighted in the context.
   - **2. sense_key=injection%1:27:00::**: This definition is "any solution that is injected (as into the skin)" with synonyms like "injectant." The context implies that vitamin B12 is a solution being injected, making this a plausible sense.
   - **3. sense_key=injection%1:04:01::**: This is defined as "the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe" with synonyms like "shot." The example given is "the nurse gave him a flu shot." The context of administering vitamin B12 via injection aligns with this definition, as it involves putting a liquid (vitamin B12) into the body.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "injections" refers to the act of administering vitamin B12 into the body, likely using a syringe. This aligns with **sense_index=3**, which is defined as the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe. The synonym "shot" and the example of a "flu shot" further support this interpretation, as they both relate to the administration of a substance via injection.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, the most appropriate sense for "injections" is the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "treatment" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context revolves around the medical use of Alimta, including its administration, dosage, and measures to reduce side effects. The sentence containing the target word is: "To reduce side effects, patients should take a corticosteroid and folic acid (a type of vitamin), and receive injections of vitamin B12 during treatment with Alimta."

1. The first candidate sense defines "treatment" as care provided to improve a situation, especially medical procedures or applications intended to relieve illness or injury. The synonym given is "intervention." The context is clearly medical, discussing the administration of Alimta and other medications to patients, which aligns with this sense.

2. The second sense refers to the management of someone or something, with "handling" as a synonym. While this could broadly encompass medical management, it's more general and not limited to medical contexts.

3. The third sense pertains to dealing with something artistically, which doesn't fit the context.

4. The fourth sense involves an extended communication dealing with a particular topic, with synonyms "discussion" and "discourse." This doesn't match the context either, as "treatment" here doesn't refer to a discussion or communication about Alimta but rather its administration.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is the first one, as it directly relates to medical care and procedures intended to relieve illness or injury.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "given" in the provided context, let's analyze the given information and the candidate senses.

The context is about the usage and administration of a drug called Alimta, which is used in anticancer chemotherapy. The text discusses how Alimta should be administered, its recommended dose, and the necessary precautions and supplementary treatments.

The target sentence is: "When Alimta is given with cisplatin, an anti-emetic medicine (to prevent vomiting) and fluids (to prevent dehydration) should also be given before or after the cisplatin dose."

Here, "given" is used in the context of administering a drug. The relevant candidate senses related to this context are those that involve the administration or provision of something, particularly a medicine or treatment.

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:

- Sense 19: "give (as medicine)" with the example "I gave him the drug." This sense directly relates to the administration of medicine.
- Other senses like "transfer possession of something" or "cause to have" might seem relevant but are more general and not as directly related to the administration of medicine as sense 19.

Given the context and the specific usage of "given" in relation to the administration of Alimta and cisplatin, the most appropriate sense is the one that directly relates to giving something as medicine.

The best sense for "given" in this context is sense 19, which corresponds to "give (as medicine)".

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "medicine" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about the usage and administration of a specific drug, Alimta, which is used in anticancer chemotherapy. The text discusses dosage, administration methods, and measures to reduce side effects. The target sentence mentions an "anti-emetic medicine" given to prevent vomiting when Alimta is administered with cisplatin.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense refers to "the branches of medical science that deal with nonsurgical techniques." This doesn't directly relate to the use of "medicine" in the context of a substance administered to prevent or treat a condition.

2. The second sense defines "medicine" as "something that treats or prevents or alleviates the symptoms of disease." The synonyms provided are "medication," "medicament," and "medicinal drug." This sense aligns closely with the context, where "anti-emetic medicine" is used to prevent vomiting, a symptom or side effect of the chemotherapy.

3. The third sense is about "the learned profession that is mastered by graduate training in a medical school and that is devoted to preventing or alleviating or curing diseases and injuries." While related to the field of medicine, this sense doesn't directly relate to the term "medicine" as used in the context of a specific substance or drug.

4. The fourth sense refers to "punishment for one's actions," which is unrelated to the context provided.

Given the context and the definitions, the use of "medicine" as "something that treats or prevents or alleviates the symptoms of disease" (specifically, an anti-emetic to prevent vomiting) is the most relevant. This corresponds to the second candidate sense.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "medicine" in the given context is the one that aligns with "medication" or "medicinal drug."

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "prevent" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The text discusses the usage and administration guidelines for a drug named Alimta, including dosage, administration method, and measures to reduce side effects. The target word "prevent" is used in the context of administering an anti-emetic medicine "to prevent vomiting" and fluids "to prevent dehydration" when Alimta is given with cisplatin.

2. **Understanding the Target Word's Context**: In the given context, "prevent" is used to indicate the action of stopping or avoiding certain conditions (vomiting and dehydration) that could arise due to the administration of Alimta with cisplatin.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "keep from happening or arising; make impossible" with synonyms like forestall, foreclose, preclude, forbid. Examples include "My sense of tact forbids an honest answer" and "Your role in the projects precludes your involvement in the competitive project". This sense focuses on making something impossible or stopping it from happening or arising.
   - **Sense 2**: "stop (someone or something) from doing something or being in a certain state" with the synonym "keep". Examples are "We must prevent the cancer from spreading" and "His snoring kept me from falling asleep". This sense is about stopping someone or something from doing something or being in a particular state.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - For "to prevent vomiting" and "to prevent dehydration", the action is about stopping these conditions from happening or arising. Both conditions are undesirable outcomes that the administration of an anti-emetic medicine and fluids aim to avoid.
   - **Sense 1** seems to fit well as it involves making something (vomiting and dehydration) impossible or stopping it from happening. The use of "anti-emetic medicine" and "fluids" is proactive to avoid these side effects, aligning with the definition of preventing something from happening or arising.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context and the definitions, **Sense 1** ("keep from happening or arising; make impossible") is the most appropriate. The administration of anti-emetic medicine and fluids is to make vomiting and dehydration impossible or to stop them from happening, which aligns with the first sense.

6. **Returning the Answer**:
   - The first sense listed is "1. sense_key=prevent%2:41:01::", so its index is 1.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "fluids" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The text discusses the administration of Alimta, a chemotherapy drug, and the measures taken to mitigate its side effects. Specifically, it mentions that when Alimta is given with cisplatin, "fluids" should be administered to prevent dehydration.

2. **Understanding the Term "fluids" in Context**: In this context, "fluids" are given to prevent dehydration, implying that they are being used to replenish or maintain the body's liquid content. This usage aligns with the concept of liquids.

3. **Examining the Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=fluid%1:27:02:: | definition=a substance that is fluid at room temperature and pressure**: This definition is somewhat specific and implies a condition (room temperature and pressure) that may not directly relate to the general use of "fluids" in a medical context to prevent dehydration.
   - **2. sense_key=fluid%1:27:00:: | definition=continuous amorphous matter that tends to flow and to conform to the outline of its container: a liquid or a gas**: This definition is broader and encompasses both liquids and gases, emphasizing their ability to flow.

4. **Relating the Definitions to the Context**: In the context provided, "fluids" are administered intravenously to prevent dehydration. While the text does not explicitly state that these are liquids, the purpose (preventing dehydration) and the method of administration (intravenous infusion) strongly suggest that "fluids" here refers to liquids. Both definitions provided could potentially apply, but the context strongly suggests a liquid.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The first definition (fluid%1:27:02::) is more specific regarding the condition (room temperature and pressure), which may not be directly relevant to the medical context where body temperature is around 37°C.
   - The second definition (fluid%1:27:00::) is broader and includes both liquids and gases. However, in the context of intravenous administration to prevent dehydration, it is clear that "fluids" refers to liquids, which are a subset of fluids.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense is the one that encompasses liquids. Both definitions could potentially apply, but the second definition is more general and includes liquids.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "fluids" in this context is the second one, which corresponds to **sense_index: 2**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "prevent" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information.

The context is about the usage and administration guidelines for a medication called Alimta, which is used in chemotherapy. The specific sentence with the target word is: "...an anti-emetic medicine (to prevent vomiting) and fluids (to prevent dehydration) should also be given before or after the cisplatin dose."

The two candidate senses for "prevent" are:
1. keep from happening or arising; make impossible
   - synonyms: forestall, foreclose, preclude, forbid
   - examples: "My sense of tact forbids an honest answer; Your role in the projects precludes your involvement in the competitive project"

2. stop (someone or something) from doing something or being in a certain state
   - synonyms: keep
   - examples: "We must prevent the cancer from spreading; His snoring kept me from falling asleep"

Let's examine the context and the examples. The sentence is discussing the administration of an anti-emetic medicine and fluids to prevent two specific conditions: vomiting and dehydration. The use of "prevent" here is to stop or avoid these conditions from happening.

Both candidate senses seem plausible because they both relate to stopping or avoiding something. However, the first sense emphasizes making something impossible, and the second sense focuses on stopping someone or something from being in a certain state.

The examples given for the first sense ("My sense of tact forbids an honest answer; Your role in the projects precludes your involvement in the competitive project") illustrate making something impossible due to certain constraints or conditions. The examples for the second sense ("We must prevent the cancer from spreading; His snoring kept me from falling asleep") directly relate to stopping a process or state from occurring or continuing.

In the given context, "prevent" is used to indicate stopping vomiting and dehydration from occurring. This aligns closely with the second sense, as it involves stopping these conditions from arising or continuing.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "prevent" in this context is the second one.
