A member asked:
If a delirious pt is suitable for iv fluid then would he usually be suitable for iv nutritional support? delirious pts can obviously pull out tubes.

No easy answer: There is considerable overlap in the terms IV nutrition and IV fluid. Delirious patients can sometimes be a danger to themselves and others. If a patient is so confused he/she is pulling out IV lines then the IV should be removed or the delirium should be treated.
