Charges for nursing care are based on the level of care required by the patient, and the length of time of care. "Critical Nursing Care" is care received in an intensive care unit, while "Routine Nursing Care" is care received in a nursing unit that is not an intensive care unit (known as a medical-surgical unit). Level 4 represents the most basic level of care, and Level 1 represents the most intense level of care. Nursing care is charged by the hour during the period of time that a patient is in a room in the nursing unit.
