Fluid restriction of 800 ml in 24 hours was ordered for a 5-year-old child with acute glomerulonephritis. To best assist the client to cope with these limitations, the nurse should:

hold the fluids from 8am to 8pm
equally divide the intake per shift
allow fluid as desired until 800 ml is reached.
give fluids in 1-ounce calibrated cup throughout the waking hours.
