I&O stands for "Intake and Output" and is a documentation of the amount of fluids a patient consumes and excretes, including urine. It helps healthcare professionals monitor a patient's fluid balance and urinary function. Sp gr (specific gravity) is a measurement of the urine's concentration, BUN (blood urea nitrogen) is a blood test that assesses kidney function, and C&S (culture and sensitivity) is a urine test to detect bacterial growth and determine the appropriate antibiotic treatment.
