Feedback for learner
Overall, you showed that research shows that a traditional sepsis education program may not be as effective in nurses identifying early sepsis. Which article shows which training program you plan to implement? It was not clear what you will implementing, especially since you did not have a closing paragraph.
You used “timely” multiple times, however you did not discuss what this means in terms of minutes, hours or days. What is “timely” identification?
You also lacked solid research on gaps and opportunities for future research.
You continue to show the same APA errors as in your previous assignments despite my comments and feedback. Please correct these for the final Capstone to avoid a zero in APA format. I highly recommend you use FNU's writing center or refer to APA 7th Edition book.
