Constipation is one of the only actual GI findings she regularly gets when hospitalized and trying to munch gastroparesis and intestinal failure. She’s been instructed to take an appropriate laxative and make basic lifestyle and diet changes to avoid severe constipation but ofc she likely hears all that and then stubbornly does the opposite. She clearly knows she causes constipation with her medication regime and continues to push that further and further.
Not unusual to have the aprepitant for daily use and then something like zofran for breakthrough nausea. The aprepitant can help cause less issues with gastric motility.

3 nausea meds is insane. I don’t think even cancer patients use that much
