Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Keeping the water mug within the person's reach is not appropriate when the doctor has ordered to restrict fluids. It is important to monitor the person's fluid intake and offer water only in small amounts as allowed by the doctor. Providing frequent oral hygiene is important to keep the person's mouth clean and moist. Recording the person's intake helps in tracking the amount of fluid consumed. Offering water in a small glass ensures that the person does not drink too much at once.
