Accepted Answer

The patient's urine output is 215ml.Weight change = (250 - 35)g = 215g or 215ml.As a result, the patient's urine output is 215ml.The amount of urine discharged by a typical adult will range between 250 and 400mls. This is equivalent to around 2 cupfuls. Most persons with typical bladder habits can go 3-4 hours without going to the bathroom.If 215ml is a one-time pee production, the patient is healthy; but, if it is a daily output, the medical term indicating low urine output is Oliguria. If you suffer from a blockage, the kidneys produce urine but you cannot expel it. If you aren't generating urine, you may well have renal, heart, or lung illness. The best technique to treat oliguria is determined by the cause of the decreased urine production.Learn more about urine output range atbrainly.com/question/28341095?referrer=searchResults#SPJ4
