The use of precise measurements makes documentation more accurate.For example,documenting "Voided 450 mL clear urine" is more accurate than "Voided an adequate amount." Small and moderate are not as accurate as precise measurement.Patient incontinent of urine does not tell how much and although accurate is not as accurate as a precise measurement.
