    After 6-8 hours of nursing intervention for tonsillitis, the patient will be able to: a) pass food/fluid from mouth to stomach safely and b) maintain adequate hydration, as evidenced by good skin turgor and moist mucous membranes. The nursing interventions included assessments of pain, encouragement of rest periods and smaller bites of food, ensuring appropriate food temperatures, monitoring of intake/output, and administration of analgesics and medications as ordered.
