After a person has been intubated, chest compressions are no longer interrupted to do ventilations. Instead, chest compressions are done continuously, and ventilations are done simultaneously at a rate of one breath every 6 to 8 seconds. This is because now that the patient is intubated, (assuming placement of the tube has been confirmed) the airway is open, so the rescuers no longer have to stop compressions to open the airway and check for chest rise.

If the patient is fasting, it would seem superfluous to advise them not to eat during that fast. However, if the question really means that the patient was never advised to fast, even though they were supposed to have been advised, then yes, the supervisor needs to know. Some medical procedures are very dangerous if the person has ate. Such as anesthesia being administered.
