Question

Calculate the patient's total urinary output for the shift. The patient has continuous bladder irrigation and a Foley catheter.

0800-1000: 3 Liters of bladder irrigation
1000: emptied Foley catheter 3600 mL
1100: 1 Liter of bladder irrigation
1200: 2 Liters of bladder irrigation and emptied 3250 mL from Foley catheter
1300: 1 Liter of bladder irrigation
1400: 1 Liter of bladder irrigation
1500: 1 Liter of bladder irrigation and emptied 3120 mL from Foley Catheter
1600-1900: 3 Liters of bladder irrigation
1900: emptied 4200 mL from Foley catheter

Answer 1

To calculate the patient's total urinary output for the shift, add up the amount of bladder irrigation and the amount emptied from the Foley catheter.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the patient's total urinary output for the shift, we need to add up the amount of bladder irrigation and the amount emptied from the Foley catheter. Here's a breakdown of the calculations:

1. 0800-1000: 3 Liters of bladder irrigation
2. 1000: emptied Foley catheter 3600 mL
3. 1100: 1 Liter of bladder irrigation
4. 1200: 2 Liters of bladder irrigation and emptied 3250 mL from Foley catheter
5. 1300: 1 Liter of bladder irrigation
6. 1400: 1 Liter of bladder irrigation
7. 1500: 1 Liter of bladder irrigation and emptied 3120 mL from Foley Catheter
8. 1600-1900: 3 Liters of bladder irrigation
9. 1900: emptied 4200 mL from Foley catheter

To get the total urinary output for the shift, we add up the amounts:

Total bladder irrigation: 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 12 Liters

Total Foley catheter: 3600 + 3250 + 3120 + 4200 = 14170 mL

So, the patient's total urinary output for the shift is 12 Liters of bladder irrigation + 14170 mL from the Foley catheter.
