Why would you say no? The question asks for antibiotics given within 24 hours before and 3 hours after.

I hope you are all doing well. I would like to clarify with everyone how they are answering this question to make sure I am doing it correctly. Are you answering yes or no if severe sepsis presentation time is at 12noon and the broad spectrum antibiotic (only antibiotic) was given at 11:45am and then again at 18:00? Previously, someone posted that if you answer "no" that the case will not fail unless there are other reasons for the case to fail. When I look at the algorithm if you answer "2" you proceed to J but it does not say to add one to the sepsis three hour counter. Page SEP-1-11 The last algorithm shows that if the sepsis three hour counter is <3 then it goes to SEP-1 D. Page SEP-1-27. Thank you for your feedback!
