- D. Cover the infant’s head with a stocking cap.
- E. Place the infant in a bassinette close to the wall.

An infant had four wet diapers during the 8-hour shift. The weight of a dry diaper is 15 g. The four wet diapers weighed 30 g, 24 g, 21 g, and 25 g. What amount in milliliters should the nurse record for the total 8-hour urine? _______ mL (Record your answer as a whole number.)
