Continuous bladder irrigation is prescribed for an adult who had bladder surgery; 1000 mL of irrigating solution was instilled in the last eight hours. The amount of drainage in the urine drainage bag for the last eight hours is 1700 mL. How much is the client's urine output for the last eight hours?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Urine output is calculated by subtracting instilled irrigation fluid (1000 mL) from total drainage (1700 mL), yielding 700 mL of actual urine.
