O.k, to disagree with other posters. if a patient is self-ventilating, they will not as a rule get one to one nursing care as would be classified a Level 2 patient. By all accounts Boris was never ventilated, therefore would not warrant one-to-one nursing care. A ventilated patient would be classified as Level 3, and would normally have one-to-one nursing care. Given the pressure on beds at present, and lack of experienced staff, this ratio is not being nationally maintained at present
