I Identify whether your patient has undergone surgery or if he has a medical condition or takes medication that can affect fluid intake or loss. * Measure and record all intake and output. If you delegate this task, make sure you know the totals and the fluid sources. At least every 8 hours, record the type and amount of all fluids he's received and describe the route as oral, parenteral, rectal, or by enteric tube. It helps us determine the patient’s fluid status: Y Are they Hydrated? Y Are they Dehydrated? Y Are they in Fluid Qverload? Y Is there an obstruction?

Assist the client to a position in which the irrigating solution will flow by gravity from the upper end to the lower end then into the basin. 2. Place the waterproof drape over the client and the bed. 3. Put on clean gloves and gently roll or lift an edge of the soiled dressing to obtain a starting point. Support adjacent skin while gently releasing the soiled dressing from the skin. When possible, remove the dressing in the direction of hair growth. 4.
