1. The graphic record contains numbers and coordinates on a graph and documenta-tion such as vital signs, intake and output, and blood sugar levels. The nurse records data from the client's fluid intake on the graphic record because the solid food cannot be quantified to milliliters or another unit of measure suitable for the graphic record, so the amount of fluid consumed by the client is recorded in milliliters.
2. The data presented is insufficient to state that the entire breakfast was consumed.
3. The total amount of fluid consumed by the client equals 368 mL; two waffles are not included in the fluid intake.
4. 8 oz of milk and 4 oz of orange juice are not suitable documentation for the progress notes unless all fluid is recorded in ounces.
