Of course we monitor our patients, take their vital signs and other hemodynamic parameters.
We treat them by giving medications and we insert invasive lines to be able to administer
these medications. No matter how we do all these if we don’t feed our patients, the care won’t
be that holistic because we have to meet first the very basic need of our patients which is food,
we have to feed them. That’s why the nurse should coordinate with the physician and the
nutritionist to have a plan for patients to be fed early on unless it is contraindicated.
