The air sacs may Till with uid or pus (purulent material), causing cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing, A variety of organisms, including bacteria, viruses and fungi, ean cause pneumonia. Symptoms of pneumenia inclu cough, sputum may be rst or geen or tinged with blood, fever, chills chest paint tachycardia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, Symptoms caused by viruses are the same as those caused by bacteria. But they may come on slowly and often are not as obvious or as bad. Risk factors; Pneumonia can affect anyone. You may be more likely to get the disease afler having a cold or the flu, These illnesses make it hard for your lungs to fight infection, so itis easier to got pneumonia, Having a long-term, or chronic, disease like asthma, heart disease, cancer, or diabetes also makes you more likely to get pneumonia. the two age groups at highest risk are children who are 2 years old or younger developing and people who ate age 65 or older “How fo diagnose: Upon admission you'll be asked about your medical history and doing a physical exam, including listening to your lungs with a stethoscope to check for abnormal bubbling or crackling sounds that indicate the presence of secretions, If pneumonia is suspected you may get a chest X-ray to determine the extent and location, CBC blood test to confirm infection, sputum test to pinpoint the cause of infection. Other test include rapid urine test to identify bacteria, HIV test for people with impaired immune system, Some doctors may suggest an HIV test if they think that Pneumocystis Jiroveci is causing the pneumonia, Treatment: For most people, pneumonia can be treated at home with medication. It often clears up in 2 to 3 weeks. But older adults, babies, and people with other diseases can become very ill. They may need to be in the hospital. Medications include antibiotics to treat bacterial pneumonia, fever reducers, which include aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen, cough medicine to calm your eough to promote rest. You may also receive respiratory therapy to remove mucus from the lungs. Getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and taking your medication as prescribed which includes taking the entire course of antibiotics can ensure a quick recovery and decresse your tisk of complication. To help prevent pneumonia, get vaccinated, practice good hygiene, don’t smoke, and keep your immune system strong. Prognosis: The mortality (death) rate is up to 30% for patients with severe pneumonia who require treatment in an intensive-care unit. Overall, around 5%-10% of patients who are treated in a hospital setting die from the disease. Pneumonia can be treated successfully with medication, However, some people, especially those in higherisk groups, may ‘experience complications, including lung abscess, fluid accumulation around lungs (pleural effusion), difficulty breathing, bacteria in the bloodstream (bacteremia). Genetic factors: There are not many resource that link genetic Factors fo pneumonia, Many genetic links fo other chronic University of South Florida College of Nursing — Revision September 2014 3 lisease like asthma, heart disease, cancer, or diabetes also makes you diseases such as Having a long-term, oF chronic more likely to get pneumonia.

Lunch: fried chicken sandwich, fries with ketchup Dinner: porkehops, mashed potatoes and gravy and canned green beans. Shacks: bananas, powder sugar donuts. Liquids (inelude alcohol): 1 cup of orange juice, water. typical diet at home is shown above and is not up to the recommended diet as suggested by Choossemyplate. gov. Here the patient’s average diet exceeded the recommended amount of calories by 103 calories. When broken down into daily food group targets the patient exceeds her consumption of protein by twice the recommended amount of SI/2 02. 1 would recommend cutting down to only one protein for breakfast instead of three. Her diet is lacking dairy, only in taking % of the recommended 3 cups. Adding a cup of milk throughout the day or ‘cup of yogurt can be a good alternative snack compared to donuts, She was just shy of the recommended amount of grains and fruits in a daily diet. I would suggest adding a side of rice instead of French fries and try a grilled chicken sandwich with @ {uit of choice such as a peach or pear fo meet both her recommend grain and fruit target. This also isa healthier choice for lunch and climinates unnecessary fat and oil from her diet ‘which can cause heart problems and contribute to this patients initial complaint of chest pain, Vegetable food group target was exactly were we would like fo see it. L would suggest trying to substitute canned green beans for fresh green bars; this would cut down on sodium, Other suggestions would be to increase water intake to promote hydration as well as incorporate at least 150 minutes of exercise per week.

Platelet (Normal 150- 450) 218 K/meL. 183 K/mel. 197 K/mel. 3/18/15 B/9/S 3/20/15 The patient's platelet count stayed with the normal range of 150-450. There was little variation in the values throughout the length of stay. This patient’ platelet count slightly lowered to 183 then rose back up to 197. ‘A platelet count that’s lower than normal (thrombocytopenia) or higher than normal (thrombocytosis) is often a sign of an underlying medical condition, or it may be a side effect from medication, If your platelet count is outside the normal range, you'll likely need additional tests to diagnose the cause. Since this patient's platelet values are within normal range no additional test were done. Glucose (Normal 70-100) 109 mg/dL. 93 mg/dL, 90 mg/dL, 3/18/15 B/19/15 3/20/15 Upon admission this patient’s glucose levels were a little elevated at 109 but soon after remained within normal range upon the following days of stay. Normally, your blood glucose levels increase slightly after you eet. This increase causes your pancreas to release insulin so that your blood glucose levels do not get too high. Blood glucose levels that remain high over time can damage your eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels, BUN (Normal 6-20) 12mg/aL. 14mg/dL. 14mg/dL 3/18/15, 3/19/15 3/20/15 This patient's Blood urea nitrogen remained within normal values throughout the stay at the hospital.

Calcium (Normal &.5t0 10.2 mg/d. 3/18/15 3/19/15 3/2015 Upon admission this patient’s calcium levels were under normal range and remain below the normal limit throughout the stay at the hospital. Although her calcium levels were consistently on the rise ending with 8.4 just below the normal limit of 8.5 upon discharge. More than 99% of the body’s total amount of calcium is found in the bones; most of the remaining calcium is in the blood. Hypocalcemia, very low levels can lead to dysthythmias, severe seizures and muscle spasms, hypotension, tetany, and bone fractures. Hypercalcemia, very high levels can lead to kidney stones or kidney failure, dysrhythmias, dementia, and coma, Neutrophils (Normal 13- 8.0, $4%-62%) TAT, 11.2% 3.96 , 66.8% 2.90 , 60.6% 3/18/15 3/19/15 3/20/15 Upon admission this patients absolute neutrophil count ANC vwas within normal range but her percentage of neutrophils were elevated, Throughout her stay her ANC remained in normal range but her percentage slowly decreased into normal range upon her last day of stay, Neutrophils are key components in the system of defense against infection, An absence or scarcity of neutrophils (a condition called neutropenia) makes a person vulnerable to infection.
