The client has been placed on a 1,200 mL oral fluid restriction. How should the nurse plan for this restriction?
 
  1. Allow 600 mL from 7-3, 400 mL from 3-11, and 200 mL from 11-7.
  2. Instruct the client that the 1,200 mL of fluid placed in the bedside pitcher must last until tomorrow.
  3. Offer the client softer, cold foods such as sherbet and custard.
  4. Remove fluids from diet trays and offer them only between meals.

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The amount of fluid allowed should be divided between the three major times of the day (7-3, 3-11, 11-7). This helps by taking into consideration meals and medication administration.
Rationale 2: The client should be given a choice regarding consumption of fluids at mealtime.
Rationale 3: Sherbet and custard are counted as liquids and should be avoided.
Rationale 4: The client should be given a choice regarding consumption of fluids at mealtime.
