Frequently, these measurements are taken by Registered Nurses (RNs) and/or Patient Care Technicians (PCTs). There is variability in the accuracy and consistency of these measurements across nursing units. The goal of this study is to establish what barriers exist in obtaining accurate fluid measurements and potential solutions. 收起
