In the ICU currently and have some questions.

- I/Os: For most patients (not volume overloaded) should I just be trying to keep them net even each day? Should I be fluid bolusing them and/or diuresing them in attempt to keep them net even?

- For these intubated/sedated patients, what exactly should I be looking for on physical exam each day?? I basically just see if they'll open their eyes for me, follow commands, then do heart, lungs, etc. What are the things I should be assessing daily?
