intake output
Question
The nurse reviews 24-hour fluid records. Classify each day according to whether recorded intake exceeds recorded output.
| Row | Intake exceeds output | Output exceeds intake |
|---|---|---|
| Day A | ✓ Correct | Not correct |
| Day B | Not correct | ✓ Correct |
| Day C | ✓ Correct | Not correct |
| Day D | Not correct | ✓ Correct |
Answer
Day A: Intake exceeds output · Day B: Output exceeds intake · Day C: Intake exceeds output · Day D: Output exceeds intake
Rationale
On days A and C, intake is greater than measured output. On days B and D, output is greater; the chart does not measure all fluid losses.
