Answer Description

Administering intravenous fluids is essential for stabilizing a septic patient by increasing circulating blood volume and improving tissue perfusion. Blood cultures are crucial for identifying the pathogen but are not the critical initial step. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are vital but secondary to stabilizing cardiovascular status. Administering antipyretics is less critical initially compared to stabilizing hemodynamics and combating infection.
