Calculation
A nurse is calculating the output of a client at the end of the shift. The nurse notes the following client voided 400 mL at 1100 and 350 mL at 1430. The closed chest drainage system was previously marked at 155 ml. and is now at 175 mL. The NG tube has 575 mL in drainage container, and 25 mL is emptied out of the jackson-Pratt drainage tube. How many mL should the nurse record in the medical record as the client's output?
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Identify all sources of fluid output. Voided urine at 1100: 400 mL Voided urine at 1430: 350 mL Closed chest drainage system: 175 mL (current) - 155 mL (previous) = 20 mL NG tube drainage: 575 mL Jackson-Pratt drainage tube: 25 mL Add all the volumes together to find the total output. Total output = 400 mL + 350 mL + 20 mL + 575 mL + 25 mL = 1370 mL.
