God is a 1917 sculpture by Baroness Elsa von Freytag Loringhoven . It is an example of readymade art, a term coined by Marcel Duchamp in 1915 to describe his found art . God was originally attributed to a machine painting follower of Francis Picabia named Morton Livingston Schamberg . This attribution has only recently been questioned. Schamberg was a precise artist who showed no inclination towards scatological humour which, given the nature of the work would seem necessary. It is probable that the Dada Baroness created the work during a two month visit to Philadelphia , during which she worked with Schamberg. It is now believed that he merely photographed the sculpture, in front of a painting that is recognisably his. The Baroness subsequently left Philadelphia in high dudgeon, believing herself to have been snubbed by the local artistic community, returning to New York City New York without her God . This highly irreligeous Dada object is typical of the deliberately provocative and defiant artistic stance of the Baroness. It is now regarded as a sister piece to Marcel Duchamp s infamous Fountain Duchamp Fountain sculpture which consists of an upended urinal restroom urinal . Both works were created in the same year and there is some uncertainty about who first had the idea of turning plumbing into art, Duchamp and the Baroness were friends during this period, they lived in the same apartment building and had many discussions late into the night. God is 10 inches high and consists of a cast iron Trap plumbing plumbing trap turned upside down and mounted on a wooden mitre box . The work is now in the Arensberg Collection in the Philadelphia Museum of Art .

Input and output I & O is the measure of food and fluids that enter and exit the body. Certain patients with the need are placed on I & O, and if so, their urinary output is measured. With self toileting patients on I & O, or those who are assisted to a regular toilet or portable commode, a receptacle is placed in the toilet bowl that catches all urine that is put out by the patient. This, in turn, is measured by the nursing staff and recorded prior to its disposal. If the patient is using a bedpan, the nursing staff member who empties the bedpan measures the urine prior to its disposal. Urinals usually contain measuring lines providing easy measurement. Urinals are also useful for measuring urine from other sources. Catheters, which are frequently used when it is necessary to measure a patient s output, often have measuring lines on their bags, but these are not considered to be accurate because the bag is floppy. Urine that is emptied from a catheter must be placed in a level container such as a urinal in order to be measured. References reflist Category Urinary system medicine stub ... more details
