Grammar
What does "take in" mean? "Use"?
Context:
1. Today's nurses are *** and generally give the impression of being uncaring, lazy and stupid. Things started to go wrong in the nursing profession when self-deluded, self-important nurses decided that they wanted to be treated as academics rather than as nurses. Nursing used to be a sacred vocation. Now it's just a career. I go into a lot of hospitals and the situation almost everywhere is the same: fat nurses sit drinking coffee in meetings. Patients lie desperately ringing their bells wanting attention. Nurses regularly refuse to lift patients. `That's not what we're here for,' one told me. `We're not weightlifters.' If you want evidence supporting the low quality of nursing care just look at the MRSA figures. Britain has the highest incidence of MRSA in the world. There's only one reason for that: sloppy nursing. Nurses don't wash their hands between patients. I've seen them go in and out of rooms where patients with MRSA are being nursed without washing or even wiping their hands. Garage mechanics have cleaner hands than most nurses. Relatives of patients in hospital need to take in antiseptic wipes and clean bed, tables and lockers every day because the staff won't do this. Patients need to have antiseptic wipes so that they can clean their cutlery.
