Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Managing sepsis and fluid resuscitation in patients with chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease is challenging for health care providers. Nurses are essential for early identification and treatment of these patients. Nurse education on assessing perfusion and implementing 3-hour bundled care can improve mortality rates in patients with sepsis. In this scoping review, initial screening identified 1176 articles published from 2015 through 2023 in the National Library of Medicine database; 29 articles were included in the literature summary and evidence synthesis. The review revealed that most patients with chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease received more conservative resuscitation than did the general population, most likely because of concerns about volume overload.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes.
