Which nursing intervention is most important in preventing septic shock?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Septic shock is often caused by infections from invasive devices like urinary catheters. Maintaining asepsis during catheter insertion and care is critical to prevent infection and subsequent septic shock. Fluid therapy, vital signs, and RBC monitoring are important but not primary for prevention.
