The client with a ureteroileostomy should maintain a daily fluid intake of at least 3 L (3 quarts) unless there is another reason why the client should not have this amount of fluid. These clients are at high risk of developing kidney stones and pyelonephritis, and maintaining a high intake and normal urine output will help prevent these complications.
