Description
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the five sysmptoms of Systemic Inflammatory Respone Syndrome (SIRS).
2. Explain the key differences between SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome), Sepsis, Severe Sepsis, and Septic Shock.
Unfortunately, confusion between infection and sepsis is responsible for delays in identifying sepsis. This delay can and often does result in tragic outcomes. There are better defined standards in this area now being encouraged. Sepsis is found in every venue of nursing. Ms. Bogenrief will examine what we must know to understand, identify and treat sepsis. In addition, she will describe the five symptoms of Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) and explain the key differences between SIRS Sepsis, Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock. This knowledge will help an LNC to better evaluate whether standards of care were followed.
