Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Sepsis is an entire-body inflammatory process. Sepsis is most often the result of gram-positive infections from Staphylococcus and Streptococcus bacteria but may also follow gram-negative bacterial infections such as Pseudomonas, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella. A portal of entry for sepsis is the urinary system. Leukocytosis occurs with sepsis if the client is able to mount an immune response. An elevated temperature is a manifestation of sepsis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Assessing temperature and monitoring heart rate and pupil reaction are important when assessing a client with septicemia, but a change in skin color will alert the nurse immediately of decreased tissue perfusion.
