The nurse is calculating the output of a client at the end of the shift. The nurse notes the following: the client voided 400 mL at 1100 and 350 at 1415. The chest tube was previously marked at 155 mL and is now 175 mL. The nasogastric tube has 575 mL in the drainage container and the Jackson Pratt drain had 25 mL emptied from it. How many ml's should the nurse record as output for the shift
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Total output is calculated as: Urine (400 mL + 350 mL = 750 mL) + Chest tube (175 mL - 155 mL = 20 mL) + Nasogastric tube (575 mL) + Jackson-Pratt drain (25 mL) = 1,370 mL.
