• 0900: The patient has coffee-ground emesis (vomit) measuring 300 mL.
• 1000: The nurse stops the IV of 0.45% Normal saline to administer an IV antibiotic. The antibiotic administered is Kefzol 1 g in 25 mL of D5W over 30 minutes.
• 1030: The antibiotic infusion stops, and the nurse resumes the IV fluid of 0.45% Normal saline at 100 mL/hr.

• 1530: The patient voids another 350 mL and 200 mL. The nurse checks the NG tube canister and records the output for the shift as 300 mL.
