Which of Mr.Edward's conditions requires that he be kept NPO?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pancreatitis with vomiting is a condition that often requires NPO (nothing by mouth) status so as to allow the pancreas adequate time to rest and heal, and to reduce the risk of further irritation or inflammation. As such, Mr. Edwards would need to remain NPO until his symptoms resolve and he is able to tolerate oral intake without nausea or vomiting. The other conditions listed may also require dietary restrictions or other interventions, but they do not necessarily indicate that NPO status is needed.
