SOLUTIONS
When- documenting- intake/output- totals- for- a- patient- at- the- end- of- your- shift-

document- in?- Why?- a)- 1900- b)- 1905.- -- CORRECT- ANSWERS-- - 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?- -- CORRECT- ANSWERS-- - Insert- Col
True- or- False?- It- is- best- to- use- the- Flowsheets- activity- to- review- Intake- and-
Output- totals.- -- CORRECT- ANSWERS-- - 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- -- CORRECT- ANSWERS-- - 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?- -- CORRECT- ANSWERS-- - 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?- -- CORRECT- ANSWERS-- - 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.)- -- CORRECT- ANSWERS-- -
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.-
-- CORRECT- ANSWERS-- - 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.- -- CORRECT- ANSWERS-- - 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-
-- CORRECT- ANSWERS-- - d)- These- groups- were- automatically- added- by- orders- on-
this- patient
What- is- a- basic- intake- and- output?- -- CORRECT- ANSWERS-- - "Basic"- intake- &- output-
includes- those- things- that- might- apply- to- any- patient:- oral- intake,- urine,- stool,- and-
emesis.
What- is- a- measurable- output?- -- CORRECT- ANSWERS-- - Measurable- output- is- output-
