How do NPO patients eat?
NPO means “nothing by mouth,” from the Latin nil per os. The acronym is simply a doctor's shorthand for a period of time in which you may not eat or drink anything (ask about prescription medication). Fasting is generally prescribed in preparation for an operation or exam.18 jun 2019
