Do you have to have an intake sheet to capture those cc" in the IV piggyback, or can it just be documented on the mar?

Yes, you do factor in the 200-250 mls when coding section K  (in addition to adjusting your code for section G under "eating").

Has anyone read this in the new info put out for April of this year.  It really is confusing says count IV fluids including piggybacks then in the next sentence it says so not count fluid used to dilute IV's  So I ask can you count the 100 to 250 cc used to administer the antibiotics in section K or not???  Even if IV med is not given with regular IV
