How many mL should the nurse record in the medical record as the client's output?
Explanation
To calculate the total output of the client, the nurse would add together all the measured outputs. The client voided 400 mL at 1100 and 350 mL at 1430, which totals 750 mL. The closed chest drainage system shows an increase from 155 mL to 175 mL, indicating an output of 20 mL. The NG tube has 575 mL in the drainage container. Additionally, 25 mL was emptied from the Jackson-Pratt drainage tube. Adding these amounts together (750 mL + 20 mL + 575 mL + 25 mL), the total output recorded by the nurse should be 1370 mL.
