Calculation
Post transurethral resection of the prostate, a client has a three-way catheter with a continuous bladder irrigation. Over the last 8 hours, there has been 1600 mL of irrigation solution infused and 2500 mL measured in output from the drainage bag. What is the recording of the urinary output for the 8-hour period? (Enter the number only. No units)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Identify total fluid infused and total drainage output Irrigation Infused: 1,600 mL Total Drainage Output: 2,500 mL Calculate the actual urinary output Urinary Output = Total Drainage Output − Irrigation Infused Urinary Output = 2,500 − 1,600 = 900 mL
