An action taken by a health care worker or team on a delirious patient that defies a patient's verbally stated wishes at that moment.
From the latin roots "serv" (serve) and "angio" (blood vessels) meaning literally "to serve the blood vessels." This term comes from the fact that while the patient's brain is not being satisfied, his/her medical needs or "blood vessels" are. Blood vessels are named here because the term was originally associated with IVs.

The insertion of this IV is servangio because this patient doesn't want it.
Restraining a delirious patient is an example of servangio.
Nurse, please give her this medicine servangio.
Patient: "I want a drink of water." Nurse: "You have an NPO order. Even if you want it, I cannot give it to you as servangio."

Get the Servan mug.Mythical being that has six octopus legs for optimal speed, four bodybuilder like arms, and usually carries a weapon or something to occupy his time (i.e. Football) in each hand. Sometime a servantes might have vampire teeth. They are usually covered in vintage tattoos and wear a king’s crown so that everyone knows how much ass he kicks. Covering his body would be sinful so they usually walk around naked, of in a revealing gladiator skirt so that all can see his massive seahorse shaped penis. Very few have ever seen a Servantes and if you do he is usually deetzing or shooting cum missiles on fine ladies.
Am I dreaming or is there really a servnates shooting cum missiles on those fine honeys?
