Fluid Restriction

On a scale from 1 to 10, do you want to know how much I care about your fluid restriction?  With 10 being the most care I can muster.

Zero. Z. E. R. O. Zero.

You want coffee this early in the morning?  You go right ahead and drink what ever you please, even if it is over your fluid limit for 24 hours, you know the risks of drinking more than your prescribed ml's of fluid a day, but I'm not in the room 24/7 watching what you put in your mouth.  Stop harassing the CNA, she is doing her job by asking you what you drank/ate.  And yes, yogurt is a fluid.  Yes, I had to Google it, but yes, it's a dairy product that melts, similar to popsicles and sorbet and ice cream and coffee creamer.  You, the patient, must care about your body more than anyone else.  I'll educate you, but I am not going to be your mother.

Do you need anything else?  Are you all set?  Is there anything else I can do for you?  *smile*  Okay, you call me if you need anything.  You have your call bell.  Okay good.  Call me if you need anything.  I'll be back to check on you soon.

"Now we exhort you, brethern, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men." 1 Thessalonians 5:14
