" .4. In all states of impaired health (acute and chronic disease and

wounds) the physiological needs of life (air, water, food, sunlight,

activity, temperature, rest, sleep) must be supplied in keeping with the

ability of the body to appropriate and use them.

 

When more rest and lessened activity is required, rest is

provided. If peace and quiet are required, rather than activity and

excitement, peace and quiet are provided. If there is reduced ability to

digest and assimilate food, less food is supplied. If there is a complete

suspension of the ability to digest food, as in acute disease or in severe

pain, no food is given. "
