Lesson 1Disease Process of Sepsis and Septic Shock: Body's Reaction, Organ Failure, and How It WorsensExplains how the body reacts to infection, covering swelling and defence pathways, small blood vessel problems, and cell issues. Connects these to organ failure, shock worsening, and signs nurses watch in real time.

Stresses checking fluid response dynamically, spotting fluid overload at bedside, and nurse methods to balance blood flow without harm.

Stresses early spotting, prevention methods, and nurse care for kidney, breathing, and blood support.

Stresses planned handovers, loop-back talk, and checklists to keep care going smoothly.

Reviews getting samples, rechecking treatment with new info, reducing strategies, and nurse roles in antibiotic use and watching side effects.

Highlights time-key nurse actions, local plan changes, and check-feedback ways to boost following and patient results.

Reviews bedside fluid response checking and using changing measures, scans, and clinical sense in revival choices.

Covers bedside tools, recheck frequency, and recording to guide ongoing revival and reducing.

Highlights nurse roles in prep, moving, consent help, and after-procedure watching.
