If a patient is to have fluid intake record kept the right time when?

The right time to keep fluid intake record for a patient is immediately after the patient has consumed fluids. This timing helps to ensure that the recorded data is accurate and complete, as it eliminates any potential memory lapses or delays that may result in missed or inaccurate entries. Additionally, having a consistent practice of recording fluid intake immediately can simplify the process for healthcare providers when collating and evaluating the patient's overall fluid balance and monitoring their hydration status.
