Blood sugar monitoring is ordered every four hours for the first 24 hrs. It is also ordered 1L of PNSS for 12 hours and insert Foley catheter and monitor urine output. You successfully started the infusion at 9am. Since Patient X has missed the morning dose of metformin, you immediately gave her the morning dose with 100ml of water, the 1 pm; you gave her another dose with again 100ml water after her lunch. At 10am, you drained her urine bag and got 105 ml output and again, you drained 150ml at 2pm prior to leaving your patient. Upon endorsement, Patient x claimed that she defecated once before lunch.
