Sepsis Awareness: A Comprehensive Guide for CNA's, PCA's, and MA's (Paperback)

Sepsis awareness became my mission after the heartbreaking and untimely death of my mother, She passed away due to complications from an infected decubitus ulcer—something that could have been prevented with early detection and proper care. Her loss opened my eyes to the silent danger of sepsis, especially in vulnerable populations like those in nursing homes. Now, I educate others—especially CNAs and frontline caregivers—so that no other family has to experience what mine did. Her story fuels my passion to turn pain into purpose.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that affects millions of people each year. It arises when the body’s response to infection causes widespread inflammation, leading to tissue damage, organ failure, and, if not treated promptly, death. Despite its severity, early recognition and treatment can save lives, making it crucial for healthcare professionals and caregivers to have a deep understanding of sepsis and its management.

Whether you’re on the frontlines in an emergency room, caring for loved ones at home, or a student wanting to learn more about this critical condition, this guide offers clear explanations, practical tools, and up-to-date information to help you respond effectively.
