Stage 4 — Generate solutions. Which actions belong in the immediate interdisciplinary plan? Select all that apply.

Quick answer
Culture promptly, give antimicrobials, resuscitate, support pressure, and control the obstructed source.

Why this is correct
These interventions target infection, inadequate circulating perfusion, and the anatomic cause of ongoing infection.

Easy analogy or mental picture
The plan needs three tracks: kill the pathogen, restore flow, and drain the source.

Memory hook
Culture, antibiotic, fluid, pressure, source.

NCLEX decision rule
Sepsis interventions are time-sensitive and often parallel; do not convert the bundle into an artificial strict sequence.

Why the other choices are wrong
Waiting for final susceptibility data leaves shock untreated and increases the duration of ineffective circulation.
