  1. At 1500 a patient's urine output totals 350 mL, 225 mL, and 175 mL for the shift. What is the shift output?

    Answer: 750 mL

    350 + 225 + 175 = 750 mL.

  2. In 24-hour (military) time, a lab result reported at 9:45 PM is documented as:

    Answer: 2145

    Add 12 to PM hours: 9 + 12 = 21, so 2145.

  3. The lab calls the unit with a critical potassium value. What should the HUC do first?

    Answer: Read the value back to verify and immediately notify the patient's nurse

    Critical values require read-back verification and immediate communication to the responsible nurse.

  4. A unit had 25 patients at the start of a shift; 3 were transferred out and 2 transferred in. The transfer-out patients should appear on which report?

    Answer: The sending unit's census as transfers out

    Transfers out are subtracted on the sending unit's census and added on the receiving unit's.

  5. A graphic record shows a patient's temperature rising every 4 hours for 24 hours. This data presentation is most useful for identifying:

    Answer: Trends in patient condition

    Graphic sheets display vital signs over time so clinicians can spot trends.

  6. Which term describes the number of inpatients present at the official count time each day?

    Answer: Daily inpatient census

    The daily inpatient census is the official count, usually at midnight.

  7. A unit's 20 beds were all available for a 30-day month. How many bed days were available?

    Answer: 600

    20 beds × 30 days = 600 bed days.
