When documenting intake/output totals for a patient at the end of your shift (0701-1900),
which of the following is the best choice for the column you should document in? Why? a) 1900
b) 1905. - Answer✔a) 1900, because technically the next shift starts at 1901. You need to
document in a column during the current shift so that I/O totals are not skewed in the I/O
activity and accordion reports.
What should you click to add a column to the flowsheet for a specific time when documenting
end of shift totals? - Answer✔Insert Col
True or False? It is best to use the Flowsheets activity to review Intake and Output totals. -
Answer✔False. The Intake/Output activity is the best place to review intake and output totals.
What button should you click to add an NG tube to the flowsheet? a) Add Group b) Add Row c)
Add LDA d) Add Column - Answer✔c) Add LDA
When you first administer an IV medication, an extra window appears that doesn't appear for
oral meds. What window appears, and why? - Answer✔The Link Lines window appears asking
you to associate the intravenous order with one of the patient's lines.
When inserting a column to document your end-of-shift intake/output for a patient, why is it so
important to make certain you are documenting in a column within your shift? - Answer✔So
that I/O totals for the next shift are not skewed and include your shift's totals.
What are the steps to document administering an IV piggyback. For each step, indicate which
activity it would be done in. (Assume that you have already documented inserting a peripheral
IV line on the patient.) - Answer✔1. Acknowledge the new order in the Summary 2. Click on the
scheduled due time in the MAR 3. Link the order to a line in the MAR 4. Document that you
hung a "New Bag" in the MAR 5. Document intake from IV piggyback in the Flowsheets
True or False? When you document starting a new bag of an IV piggyback, its volume is
automatically included in the patient's intake totals. Explain your answer. - Answer✔False. Just

because an IV is started doesn't mean the entire volume is infused. The nurse needs to
manually enter the volume for an IV on the intake/output flowsheet.
True or False? When you document starting a new bag of an IV piggyback, the rate and linked
line documented on the MAR automatically appear on the Intake/Output flowsheet, but you
must enter the volume infused. Explain your answer. - Answer✔True. You don't want to
document an entire 1000 mL bag as having been infused just because you started it. The rate &
linked line from the MAR appear on the Intake/Output flowsheet to help calculate the volume
at the end of the shift or when the bag is done infusing.
Which of the following best describes how these groups were added to this flowsheet? a) This
patient's nurse clicked Add Group to add them b) This patient's nurse clicked Add LDA to add
them c) These groups are present on every patient's I&O flowsheet d) These groups were
automatically added by orders on this patient - Answer✔d) These groups were automatically
added by orders on this patient
What is a basic intake and output? - Answer✔"Basic" intake & output includes those things that
might apply to any patient: oral intake, urine, stool, and emesis.
What is a measurable output? - Answer✔Measurable output is output that is measured in
milliliters.
What is an unmeasurable output? - Answer✔Unmeasurable output is instances of unmeasured
output, for example, the number of times the patient passed a stool.
What is an insert column on a flowsheet? - Answer✔The "Insert Col" button adds a column to
the flowsheet for a specific time.
What is a maintenance IV? - Answer✔Maintenance IVs are continuously infused fluids that do
not contain medications. They are used to provide a patient with fluids, to keep blood pressure
up, and to provide nutrients. They are almost always dispensed in 1,000 mL bags and
continuously infused at a set rate (usually between 50-150 mL/hr). Maintenance IV fluids can
sometimes be ordered as a bolus. A bolus is a large, rapid infusion of a medication or fluid. The
size and speed of a bolus can vary greatly, from 500 mL over two hours to 2 liters over 30
minutes (or even higher).
What is a medication IV (IV Piggyback)? - Answer✔IV piggybacks (also called medication IVs) are
medications (like ampicillin, gentamicin, or even a large dose of potassium) suspended in a
relatively small amount of base (such as 50-250 mL of NaCl 0.9% solution or a dextrose 5%
solution). Unlike maintenance IVs, they are NOT continuously infused. They are either one-time
orders or recurring orders (like Q8H or Q24H), and each dose is infused over a relatively short
period of time (such as 30-90 minutes).
