Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse determines the patient's urine output by subtracting the total volume of irrigation solution infused from the total urinary catheter output because the nurse infused and drained the irrigation solution.
Urinary drainage = 3720
Total of irrigation fluid = (12 hrs × 250 mL/hr)= 3000
Actual urine output = 720 mL
