RN Sent: Tuesday, December 29, 2015 10:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Sepsis Groups] Septic shock presentation I have come across a chart that the MD documentation notes sepsis with shock but the patient does not meet criteria for septic shock. The patient is positive for severe sepsis but does not have a lactic acid ≥4 or hypotension. Do I still note this patient as septic shock due to MD documentation?
