It is worthy that I was aware of the importance of communication and this situation highlighted the consequences of how a lack of leadership, communication and trust could impact the dynamics of caring for a patient in a emergency situation (ref).

What should have happened???
The incident occurred with what should have been a standard case of dealing with sepsis.

This would have enabled us to focus on delivering the appropriate/essential interventions to treat sepsis.
According to…(ref). It was found that there was a reduction in patient mortality on wards that have had a good compliance of integrating this care bundle.
The sepsis six bundle is recommended and supported by the HSE (hse 2014) therefore I believe it nurses should integrate this vital as… when managing sepsis.
I was also going to bring in communication/confidence. Do preceptors doubt students ability in an emergency
