When the patient who is nothing by mouth (NPO) (no food or fluids allowed) develops an adverse reaction to a new intravenous (IV) drug, then the nurse will take action like recording the reaction, stopping the further administration of the drug and notify the health care provider.
Nothing by mouth (NPO) is a period of time in which the patient is advised not to eat or drink anything. Doctors suggest avoiding eating food or drinking water during the medical or surgical procedure to ensure the correct report or successful operation of the patient.
NPO is a common practice, and it instructs that patients should not take solid and liquid before receiving general anaesthesia.
