Imagine this… You have a 66 year old patient with type 2 diabetes receiving a high dose of steroids that is having problems breathing. They have a fever of 100.9, blood pressure is 90/60 supine – Plus, their white blood cell count is 12,000. They are also receiving a potassium rider and almost all of their labs are out of control. Which issue should you address first?
Split second decisions like this are stressful and with the number of patients you care for daily that require much more attention than your schedule allows for, how can you possibly do it all… You NEED to be able to rapidly assess and implement appropriate interventions to give your patients the best opportunities for recovery.
