Adam Smith, 77 years of age, is a male patient admitted from a nursing home to the intensive care unit with septic shock secondaryto urosepsis. The patient has a Foley catheter in place from the nursing home with cloudy greenish, yellow-colored urine withsediments. The nurse removes the catheter after obtaining a urine culture and replaces it with a condom catheter attached to adrainage bag. The patient has a history ofurinary and bowel incontinence. The patient is confused, afebrile, and hypotensive with ablood pressure of 82/44 mm Hg. His respiratory rate is 28 breaths/min. The pulse oximeter reading is at 88% room air, so the primaryprovider ordered 2 to 4 L of oxygen per nasal cannula titrated to keep SaO2 greater than 92%. The patient responded to 2 L ofoxygen per nasal cannula with an SaO2 of 93%. The patient has diarrhea. His blood glucose level is elevated at 160 mg/dL. The whiteblood count is 15,000, and the C-reactive protein, a marker for inflammation, is elevated. The patient is treated with broad-spectrumantibiotics and norepinephrine beginning at 2 mcg/min and titrated to keep systolic blood pressure greater than 100 mm Hg. Asubclavian triple lumen catheter was inserted and verified by chest x-ray for correct placement. An arterial line was placed in theright radial artery to closely monitor the patients blood pressure during the vasopressor therapy. (Learning Outcomes 1, 3, and 4)a. What predisposed the patient to develop septic shock?b. What potential findings would suggest that the patients septic shock is worsening from the point of admission?c. The norepinephrine concentration is 16 mg in 250 mL of normal saline (NS). Explain how the nurse should administer themedication. What nursing implications are related to the usage of a vasoactive medication?d. Explain why the effectiveness of a vasoactive medication decreases as the septic shock worsens. What treatment should thenurse anticipate to be obtained to help the patient?e. Explain the importance of nutritional support for this patient and which type of nutritional support should be provided.If you have any questions please let me know.
