Nursing DNP Projects

Abstract

The desired outcome for this project is to improve nurse’s self-perceived confidence, competence and knowledge in recognizing the early symptoms of sepsis in adult medical patients. Evidence indicates that early recognition and intervention are key to survival.

Overall, the literature regarding sepsis education indicates that education in combination with a screening tool is the most effective in assisting nurses with early recognition of sepsis in hospitalized patients. All studies reviewed on escape rooms focused on nursing knowledge and self-perceived confidence or competence and used a pre/posttest design.

Registered nurses will participate in a high fidelity escape room to help …

Others have laid out this evidence in much detail; I want to focus here on public health …
