Administering a sitz bath twice per day B. Increasing fluid intake to 3 L/day C. Using an indwelling urinary catheter to measure urine output accurately D. Encouraging the client to drink cranberry juice to acidify the urine
There might be a need for a catheter and a urine bag
The patient’s diet has to be monitored, Which is majorly in measurement of fluid intake
Monitoring of the input and output
Medications for hyperthermia
We don’t want a patient taking 5cc’s of water and output is 1cc
It means there is retention and that is potential trouble
So that is why we are measuring
We monitor the output especially for the color, because the urine can be cloudy, also there might be blood in the urine too. This is why we pay close attention to that. Also the odor, might have a fishy smell, this is something to note. There might also be pus in the urine
