What is the correct method for measuring and recording a resident's fluid intake?

Question

Accepted Answer

Measure and record all fluids consumed, including water, juice, soup, and ice in milliliters, typically for a 24-hour period. Accurate fluid intake measurement includes all fluids (water, juice, beverages, soup, and ice) measured in milliliters over a 24-hour period. Recording only daytime (A) is incomplete. Estimation (B) is inaccurate and unreliable. While the primary measure is beverages, fluids in food also count (D is too restrictive).
