2.47; 3.09 | <.001 sig |
Summary
Early morning weights to monitor CHF patient's fluid status is common practice but there is a lack of evidence that this is the best practice. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in net weight gain or loss for hospitalized patients with CHF who are weighed in the evening instead of early morning.
