I wondered about this often during my previous semesters of nursing school. I wonder if a detailed explanation of the importance of I&O to the patient would make it a little easier to record. I...

I got mine at a home medical store, but they are available online. The only problem I sometimes have with it is you have to have a VERY steady hand. They can be quite costly too. I think mine...
