Question 1 of 5
A client has an order for continuous bladder irrigation. What should the nurse do with the irrigation solution on the intake and output (I&O) sheet when calculating the fluid balance for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A
Rationale:
1. Continuous bladder irrigation is a procedure to prevent blood clots and ensure patency of the catheter.
2. The irrigation solution is not being absorbed by the body; it is solely used to flush the bladder.
3.
Therefore, the solution should be deducted from the total urine output to accurately calculate the client's fluid balance.
4. This ensures that only the actual urine output is considered in the I&O calculations.
Summary:
B: Subtracting it from the IV flow sheet as output is incorrect as the irrigation solution is not being infused intravenously.
C: Documenting the intake hourly in the urine output column is incorrect as this would overestimate the urine output.
D: Adding it to the oral intake column is incorrect as the irrigation solution is not being ingested orally.
