Elimination
Bowel and bladder output, which the LPN measures, records, and reports when the pattern changes.
Elimination covers the excretion of waste through urine and stool, and tracking the client’s normal patterns and intake/output helps detect problems early. Report significant changes such as low urine output, blood, or a sudden shift in bowel habits. Promote regularity with adequate fluids, fiber, activity, and privacy.
