Empty the contents of the resident's urinary drainage bag, measure, and document the urine production as part of the resident's healthcare. Urinary drainage bags should be removed seven days after their initial use.
The following are the instructions for emptying a resident's urinary drainage bag, measuring, and recording urine production (intake and output):
- Step 1, introduce yourself to the resident or patient and greet him or her by his/her name.
- Step 2, explain the procedure to the patient before starting and throughout.
- Step 3, handle the graduate, urinary drainage bag, or other urine-filled container using gloves, and remember to remove gloves when documenting.
- Step 4, set a graduate or bed pan on a barrier that has been set on the floor, and then fill the graduate with the drainage bag's contents.
- Step 5, close and cover the drain after emptying the contents of the urine drainage bag to prevent contamination of the drainage tube.
- Step6, graduation should be placed on a flat surface that is barrier-protected so that it can be viewed at eye level to acquire measurements.
- Step 7, after measuring the rinse and dry containers and adding the rinse water to the toilet, empty the urine into the graduate.
- Step 8, after having clean hands, record the output.
- Step 9, within +/- 50 ML/cc of the nurse's measurement for the output record.
- Step 10, notate the output as urine as well as the appropriate time on the i/o form.
- Step 11, leave the drainage bag and tubing disconnected and the bag dangling from the bed frame.
- Step 12, throughout treatment, keep the urine drainage bag lower than the bladder.
- Step 13, completing skills, storing equipment, putting dirty laundry in a basket, and garbage removal.
- Step 14, during care, ask about the patient's preferences.
- Step 15, when giving care, utilize standard safety precautions and infection prevention methods.
- Step 16, during care or when it is finished, ask about the patient's comfort or requirements.
