Two hours later, Deliah brought Peter 8 oz of juice and placed that number in his chart. At that time, she took the cup with the leftover water and threw it in the trash. Deliah repeated this process with different fluids throughout the day. Also through the day, she monitored his output with a urinal. At the end of the day, she measured 21% loss of fluids during the day and tells the nurse. Which most accurately explains what happened?

B. Deliah improperly recorded the input, which resulted in unnecessarily telling the nurse about it.

C. Deliah was trying to measure the nutritional input.

D. Deliah did not allow enough time between the input and output.
