To record intake and output in a resident or patient, follow the steps below.

☛ Locate liquid foods for the resident and record their intake
☛ Record liquid food intake in cubic centimeters or milliliters as per facility policy
☛ The output is measured by pouring the urine of the resident into a graduate
☛ While using a gloved hand to hold the graduate, use a gloveless hand to flush down the toilet
☛ Disinfect each and every appliance used during the test
☛ Record the urine output and report any form of the unusual characteristic to nurse.
