Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restricting fluids means limiting the amount of fluid intake for the patient. Recording the person's intake helps to ensure they do not exceed the specified amount. Providing a pitcher of water or offering a variety of fluids goes against the doctor's orders to restrict fluids. Keeping the water pitcher within reach may also lead to the patient exceeding their fluid limit.
