Good afternoon to all- The pt. for this scenario met Sepsis at 1600. I have an order for IV fluids that reads: at 1630- 0.9%NS 1000/ml IV ; Rate 999ml/hr- The nurse has documented at 1630- NS 1000 0.9% bolus infusing over 1 hr in Rt. Subclavian. The next documentation is at 1739: follow-up: Infusion continued upon admission. There is no I&O documented how much the pt. received of that IV. I have read and re-read the guidelines for IV fluids and still not 100% clear if I can count this IV fluid. Do I need only the MD order for fluids or do I have to actually see the amount of fluids that was infused ? Can anyone give me some guidance? Thank you, Diana Davis, Quality Outcomes Coordinator CMH Regional Health System
