Rationale 2: Fluid intake for tube feedings is not documented in the dietary consultation notes.
Rationale 3: Fluid intake for tube feedings is not documented on the vital signs record.
Rationale 4: The amount of fluid as feeding provided to the client should be recorded on the intake and output record.
