Welcome to the Board! :balloons:

Nurses keep track of the Intake and Output of patients to make sure what's going in is coming back out. If the intake in 3000cc and the client has only voided 500cc there is a problem of possible fluid retention in the bladder or elsewhere or maybe it's from extreme diaphoresis (sweating). Likewise if the Intake of fluids is 3000cc and the clients has an output of 7000cc the client is at risk for dehyrdation or something could be off with the electrolytes and these should be reporded to the Dr. There are a bunch of other things that could be going on but I won't get into it right now since you're new.

Good luck!
