Intensive Care Units and a total of 60 patients in those units were also selected conveniently. The selected patients were randomly assigned to experimental and control group using lottery method. The total sample size for the study was 60 patients i.e. - 30 in experimental group and 30 in control group.

Sample characteristics and clinical data (variables) were recorded in record sheet and thirst intensity and dry mouth scores were assessed only. After 30 minutes of pre test scores, post test 1 was taken and data were recorded. Then after, 30 minutes of post test 1, post test 2 was taken and data were recorded.
