Discussion week 7
I agree with the post of Weldon that stresses on early diagnosis of sepsis. Weldon has stated that the nurses must possess awareness about sepsis because it allow them to take adequate actions for identifying the symptoms and diagnose the disease. This is effective for minimizing the negative outcomes (Griffiths et al., 2018). The post highlights the significance of S.Res. 175-116th Congress (2019-2020), a policy presented by Senator Tammy Baldwin. I agree that Sepsis is one of the prominent cause of readmission of the patients at hospitals. This is due to the delayed response from the staff, resulting in severity of the patient’s condition. The post has identified the solutions for overcoming this issue. I believe that providing awareness to the patients and nurse is equally important for minimizing the risks of readmission. Nurses having knowledge on sepsis would be able to provide guidance to the patients and the family that improve the scope of recovery. I also agree that most of the problems faced by the patients of sepsis is due to lack of nurse knowledge. In such situations they are unable to take appropriate measures for providing guidance to the patients or family members (Olans, 2016).
I agree that sepsis is expensive treatment and readmission puts financial burden on the families of patients. By providing training and knowledge to the nurse they would be able to take timely actions and respond to the nurses in right manner. I think that by educating nurses the healthcare institutes can help nurses to offer better guidance to the patients. The state must be able to take better decision and implement policy for maximizing welfare of patients and reducing the rates of readmission. This will need professionally competent and skilled nurses.
