Here are three scenarios.

1) Emergency: someone is dangerously dehydrated. Intervention: get them out of the sun, with few layers of clothing, laying down, and give them water right away, though not too much all at once (see #3).

2) Emergency: someone is dangerously malnourished. Intervention: get them on a nutritious diet immediately, though not beginning with a lot of heavy foods too suddenly. Increase their food intake at a rate the body can handle.

3) Emergency: someone has had too much water all at once. Sometimes happens in sports. This can fatally dilute the body's electrolytes (essential chemicals). Intervention: they need a higher-than-normal electrolyte solution intravenously.

Conclusion:

As you can see, these different emergencies call for different types of nutrition-intervention. These are just a few examples.
