    • Food Intake: Assess and document the amount of food and liquids the patient ingests at every meal.
    • Food and Nutrition: Provide variety and consider patient food preferences.
    • Chattering Hope and Advices: Avoid talking without reason or giving advice without facts. Talk to the client as a person and stimulate their mind.

    • Self-Care Agency: The human ability to engage in self-care, influenced by age, development, life experiences, sociocultural orientation, health, and resources.
    • Self-Care Requisites: Actions directed towards the provision of self-care.
    • Universal Self-Care Requisites: Actions that are common to all individuals and include maintaining air, water, food, elimination, and rest.
