This case study analyzes a nursing scenario involving an elderly patient admitted with sepsis, exacerbated by a urinary tract infection (UTI). The student utilizes the clinical reasoning cycle to assess the patient's condition, considering factors such as the patient's history of diabetes and hypertension, and the development of a UTI after catheterization. The assessment includes vital signs, blood glucose levels, and urine culture results. The student then processes the information, identifying the patient's problems, which include sepsis, UTI, abdominal pain, and anxiety. The planning and implementation of interventions involve both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, such as antibiotics, pain management, fluid intake, and hygiene measures. The student evaluates the outcomes, noting improvements in vital signs and a reduction in infection indicators. The case study concludes with reflections on the experience, emphasizing the importance of person-centered care, communication, and critical thinking in nursing practice. The student demonstrates a systematic approach to clinical problem-solving, supported by relevant literature, and offers valuable insights into the management of complex patient conditions.
