Colorado CNA Practice Exam

What must a resident with a restricted fluids order do?

1. Consume as much fluid as possible

2. Limit fluid consumption to a doctor-set level

3. Consume fluids only during meals

4. Avoid all fluid intake

The correct answer is: Limit fluid consumption to a doctor-set level

This is because a resident with a restricted fluids order has a medical condition that requires them to limit their fluid intake. Option A is incorrect because consuming too much fluid can lead to a serious health complication. Option C is incorrect because it does not address the need for restriction. Option D is incorrect because it is not healthy or safe to completely avoid fluid intake.
