A client has a continuous bladder irrigation running after prostatectomy. During the shift, 600mL of one bag of irrigant is infused and 1500mL of the next bag has also infused.
 
  Upon draining the urine bag three times during the shift, the nurse measures the volumes emptied to be 800mL, 1,050mL, and 950mL. The nurse expects the volume out to be greater than the volume in and calculates the excess fluid to be which of the following? 1. 950mL
   2. 1000mL
   3. 700mL
   4. 250mL

3. 700mL

Rationale:
The total infused is 600+1500=2,100mL. The total drained is 800+1050+950=2,800mL. The total, or true output, is 700mL greater than the input.
