Alex Thorn, an 87-year-old resident of a care facility recently admitted via the Emergency Department with urosepsis. Alex’s daughter Heather tells you that she knew he was unwell but no one listened to her concerns. In the hospital, a new evidence-based approach has been implemented to support sepsis recognition which includes patients and families being involved in the early recognition of sepsis. Your role involves applying this approach through shared decision-making to effectively manage Alex’s sepsis, using the new screening and management guidelines. As part of the evidence-based practice you need to integrate patient preferences into your decision-making. Shared decision-making is an important part of collaborating with patients and their families. Explain the importance of shared decision-making in relation to your chosen scenario. Your answers should be supported by the NMBA Registered Nurse Standards for Practice (2016) and the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards. You may use abbreviations for ‘NMBA’ and ‘NSHQS’. As part of your answer, you must identify the linking standards numerically (e.g., NMBA RN standard 1.2) and then discuss how they support the importance of shared-decision making.
