PRACTICE:
1.
There are two situations #1 and #2 to practice I & O in Utility Room 112 - drawer
61, and Utility Room 107 - drawer 82.
FOR TEST:
1. You will be given a situation card.
2. You need the following equipment set up prior to testing time:
Water pitcher with fluid.
Bedpan with fluid.
Foley bag with fluid.
2 measuring graduates (2 different sizes).
1 emesis basin with fluid.
I & O sheets: bedside sheet
HINTS:
In the lab you are determining some of your client's outputs. If your card says
your client had an emesis and no amount is given, you can measure the
amount in the emesis basin to provide your own number. This is true for other
outputs as well. Therefore, if you are giving your client very high outputs,
you are setting the stage for your client to have a potential fluid deficit.
