RespiratoryPneumonia II

Patient care

Discharge Teaching

DiagnosticsRisk Factors & Causes

• Prolonged immobility - secretions are not mobilized & get stuck in body • Post-Operative - Anesthesia - the body is put to sleep which traps infection in the lungs

• Elevated WBC - white blood cell count • Over 10,000 • Sputum Culture = Positive • Test tip - cultures are always taken first - BEFORE antibiotics • Think A - Antibiotics A - AFTER cultures, in order to identify the causative bacteria.

Common NCLEX QuestionBest indicator of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) ?

Positive sputum culture

Best blood lab value shows effective treatment of pneumonia after IV antibiotics?

White blood Cell count

NCLEX TIP

Mobilize secretions & Expand Lungs

Chest physiotherapy

Huff coughing technique

HOB UP! High Fowler’s

AVOID cough suppressants

Positioning

TCDB - turn cough & deep breath!

Fluid 2 - 3 L per day

Hypoxia in Unilateral Pneumonia?= Good Lung Down
