10. POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE
BALANCE CONCEPT:
• If input is greater than output so, its called positive balance.
E.G : Total intake is 2000 ml and Total output is 1600 ml
2000 – 1600 = 400
400 is positive balance.
• If output is greater than input so, its called negative balance.
E.G : Total intake is 1500 ml and Total output is 2000 ml
1500 – 2000 = - 500
- 500 is negative balance.
• The difference of 500ml or less than 500ml between input and
output is normal but if it is more than 500 ml so, need to be
inform to concern doctor.
