Nice work.
You worked through Faadumo Osman's sepsis case from family communication to the Hour 1 Sepsis Bundle. Here is what you practiced along the way.
Learning Objectives Covered
Culturally responsive communication: Practiced honoring a patient's religious and cultural identity while building trust with a family member as a care partner.
Recognizing sepsis: Applied SIRS criteria to identify early signs of sepsis in a patient with an unclear initial presentation.
Medication safety in renal impairment: Evaluated home medications against new lab values and CKD status to decide which to give, hold, or clarify with the provider.
Fall risk assessment: Used the Morse Fall Scale to identify high fall risk and assign the right interventions to the right members of the care team.
Diagnostic interpretation: Interpreted urinalysis findings to confirm a urinary tract infection as the likely source of sepsis.
Time-critical intervention: Practiced completing the Hour 1 Sepsis Bundle and reflected on the system factors that affect how quickly it can be done.
