Monitoring a patient's intake and output is important to track their fluid balance. A nurse recorded the oral intake, parenteral fluids, and total intake of several patients, as well as their output including urine, drain output, and stool to determine each person's fluid balance. Maintaining accurate records of what goes into and comes out of a patient is a key nursing responsibility.
