Basic Care and Comfort NCLEX RN Nursing Practice Question
The nurse is caring for a client with fluid overload who is on strict I's and O's. The nurse understands that which is the best way to ensure accurate I's and O's?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Accurate I's and O's require nurse measurement of all fluids, including IVs and oral intake, and urine output, typically using graduated containers. None of the options fully ensure accuracy, as they rely on client reporting or incomplete measures.
