Far Eastern University Institute of Nursing Case Presentation Calalang General Hospital I. INTRODUCTION Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs caused by an infection. It is also called Pneumonitis or Bronchopneumonia. The air sacs in the lungs fill with pus and other liquid. Oxygen has trouble reaching your blood. If there is too little oxygen in your blood, your body cells can't work properly. Because of this and spreading infection through the body pneumonia can cause death. Pneumonia affects your lungs in two ways. Lobar pneumonia affects a section (lobe) of a lung. Bronchial pneumonia (or bronchopneumonia) affects patches throughout both lungs. For most people, pneumonia can be treated at home. 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. You can get pneumonia in your daily life, such as at school or work. This is called community-based pneumonia. You can also get it when you are in a hospital or nursing home. This is called hospital-based pneumonia. It may be more severe because you already are ill. Respiratory viruses are the most common causes of pneumonia in young children, peaking between the ages of 2 and 3. By school age, the bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae becomes more common. Pneumonia usually starts when you breathe the germs into your lungs. You may be more likely to get the disease after having a cold or the flu. These illnesses make it hard for your lungs to fight infection, so it is easier to get pneumonia. Having a longterm, or chronic, disease like asthma, heart disease, cancer, or diabetes also makes you more likely to get pneumonia. Pneumonia can be a serious threat to our health. Although pneumonia is a special concern for older adults and those with chronic illnesses, it can also strike young, healthy people as well. It is a common illness that affects thousands of people each year in the Philippines, thus, it remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the country. There are many kinds of pneumonia that range in seriousness from mild to lifethreatening. In infectious pneumonia, bacteria, viruses, fungi or other organisms attack your lungs, leading to inflammation that makes it hard to breathe. Pneumonia can affect one or both lungs. In the young and healthy, early treatment with antibiotics can cure bacterial pneumonia. The drugs used to fight pneumonia are determined by the germ causing the pneumonia and the judgment of the doctor. Its best to do everything we can to prevent pneumonia, but if one do get sick, recognizing and treating the disease early offers the best chance for a full recovery. A case with a diagnosis of Pneumonia may catch ones attention, though the disease is just like an ordinary cough and fever, it can lead to death especially when no intervention or care is done. Since the case is a toddler, an appropriate care has to be done to make the patients recovery faster. Treating patients with pneumonia is necessary to prevent its spread to others and make them as another victim of this illness.

B. Rationale for Choosing the Case This study focuses on the client's diagnosis with pneumonia. This will help the nurse to be knowledgeable about the background of this illness. This will reveal etiology, causes, signs and symptoms, treatments and the proper nursing intervention and management that should be given to the patient experiencing this respiratory illness. It can be a guide for the nurses in rendering quality care to their clients having this condition, and so that we could also apply them on our future exposures as a student and eventually as a nurse. C. Significance of the Study The study will produce ways to further improve nursing practice in patient with pneumonia as it points out factors that contribute to poor nursing care. The study will extend the previous knowledge in dealing the cases of pneumonia. This will also provide further adequate information for future studies.

D. Scope and Limitation of the Study Our study will discuss about pneumonia. We will going to define the different concepts and terms that is related to our study. We will also discuss the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system. We will also discuss the different factors (modifiable and non-modifiable) that can contribute to this disease. The signs and symptoms of signs and symptoms, the medical treatment and the prevention of this disease will be discussed also. II. CLINICAL SUMMARY A. General Data NAME: C.A. M. SEX: Female BIRTHDATE: April 6, 1999 AGE: 10 y/o ADDRESS: 4A Rubyville Subd. F Lazaro ST. Canumay. Valenzuela City RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION: Roman Catholic CHIEF COMPLAINT: fever DIAGNOSIS: t/c ATP r/o Pneumonia ROOM AND BED NO.: 304 ATTENDING PHYSICIAN: Dr. Calalang and Dr. Licuanan B. Chief Complaint The client was brought to Calalang General Hospital by her parents because the client manifested a high temperature of 38c and accompanied by epigastric pain.

C. Nursing History History of present illness: The client first experienced sudden onset of fever last Thursday May 7, 2009. The family decided to confine C.M. at Calalang General Hospital in Valenzuela. Four days prior to confinement the client had fever with a temperature of 37.7 degrees centigrade. Three days before confinement the client was taken to a private clinic because she experienced low grade fever the medication that were given cefaclor,paracetamol. She still experienced fever 2day before admission into the hospital. One day prior to confinement still with fever and headache and client reported that she also experienced pain in chest that radiates towards her abdomen. No other symptoms were noted such as cough,colds, dysuria, vomiting and diarrhea. The chief complaint of the client when she was admitted is fever and the diagnosis is t/c Acute tonsillopharyngitis and r/o pneumonia. The medication given to her are Dicyclocerine 10 mg/ 5ml q8h, Ampicillin 500 mg/ 10 ml intravenous q6h, Paracetamol 500 mg/ 5ml q RTC & q4h 5ml and Ranitidine 250mg/10 ml q8h. Past health history: According to her mother C.M. has a childhood illnesses such as pneumonia at the age of 6months years old, Amoebiasis at age of 1yr. old and reoccurred when she was 2yrs. old. She also had a primary complex at the age of 7 yrs. old. The mother said that her daughter was vaccinated at the Chinese General Hospital and continued the remaining shots at Valenzuela. C.M. has a complete vaccinations and boosters. Her mother stated that her daughter has no allergies for foods but for the medications, she said that when C.M. was 7 yrs. old the nurse told them that the result of the skin test was positive and that drug cannot be used for her daughter. The mother cannot recall the name and the purpose of that drug. C.M. doesnt have any accidents. Our client had been hospitalized four times; the first time that she was hospitalized is at the Santa Rosario hospital in Valenzuela. She was confined there for 2 to 3 days because of pneumonia. The second time she had been hospitalized is at the Monte Falco in Maycauayan and she was confined there for 2 to 3 days because of amebiasis. The third time is again in Monte Falco Hospital, she was confined there for about 2 days because of her primary complex. The fourth time is her recent hospitalization in Calalang general hospital; the diagnosis is acute tonsillopharyngitis and r/o pneumonia. The medications that were prescribed and used by our client are the ff: Cefalaxin 250 mg 3x a day, Cefaclor 250 mg, Cloxacicilin and Ibufropen. While the medications that are being taken currently by our client are the ff: Dicyclocerine 10 mg/ 5ml q8h, Ampicillin 500 mg/ 10 ml intravenous q6h, Paracetamol 500 mg/ 5ml q RTC & q4h 5ml and Ranitidine 250mg/10 ml q8h. The client has never left the country before. Family History of present Illness D. Physical Assessment
HEAD TO TOE PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT

E. Patterns of Functioning A. Psychological Health

Analysis: Many elderly persons feel a lack of purpose and decreased self-esteem. These feelings in turn reduce their motivation to engage in health-promoting behaviors, such as exercise or community and family involvement. Fundamentals of Nursing By Barbara Kozier pp. 194 Elders experience many losses and changes in their lives. They may be incremental and, over time, become stressful and possibly overwhelming. Changes in health decreased functional ability and independence. Fundamentals of Nursing By Kozier pp. 1026 Communication normally contributes to a clients sense of security and feelings that he or she is not alone. Fundamentals of Nursing By Barbara Kozier pp.439

B. Socio-cultural Health

Analysis: Having a support network (family, friends, or a confidant) and job satisfaction helps people avoid illness. Support people also help the person confirm that illness exists. People with inadequate support networks sometimes allow themselves to become increasingly ill before confirming the illness and seeking therapy. Support people also provide the stimulus for an ill person to become well again. Fundamentals of Nursing By Barbara Kozier pp. 178

C. Spiritual Pattern Analysis: Fowler describes faith as being present in both religious and non-religious people. Faith gives life meaning, providing the individual with strength in times of difficulty. For the client who is ill, faith whether in a higher authority (e.g., God, Allah, Jehovah), in oneself, in the health care team, or in a combination of all provides strength and hope. Fundamentals of Nursing By Barbara Kozier pp.997

Patients concept of health, illness and hospitalization. Her own concept about health is that if a person can perform activities such as play with friends, eat, dance the person is healthy. Where as if a person cant perform the activities eat, dance, play with friends the person is ill. She said the environment in the hospital is quite and she is feels bored most times. But she feels better healthier than before when she was ill. F.

COURSE IN THE WARD (DAY TO DAY PROGRESS REPORT) On the first day of our interaction with the client we asked her situation before she was admitted; her mother said she had fever and headache. Her facial expression, movements, and the way she answers questions are appropriate for her conditions. She smiled, she was jolly she said she feels better and stronger than before. The next day which was on the 13th, the mother told us that her daughter will be discharged. She looked happy and she felt relieved from the obstruction such as the IV infusion, not long before then, she vomited and had an increase in temperature so the doctor ordered another IV infusion to infuse and continuation of medication. The third day, she said she felt better than before. Then we checked her vital signs, and give her medications.

III. CLINICAL DISCUSSION A. Anatomy and Physiology The lungs constitute the largest organ in the respiratory system. They play an important role in respiration, or the process of providing the body with oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. The lungs expand and contract up to 20 times per minute taking in and disposing of those gases. Air that is breathed in is filled with oxygen and goes to the trachea, which branches off into one of two bronchi. Each bronchus enters a lung. There are two lungs, one on each side of the breastbone and protected by the ribs. Each lung is made up of lobes, or sections. There are three lobes in the right lung and two lobes in the left one. The lungs are cone shaped and made of elastic, spongy tissue. Within the lungs, the bronchi branch out into minute pathways that go through the lung tissue. The pathways are called bronchioles, and they end at microscopic air sacs called alveoli. The alveoli are surrounded by capillaries and provide oxygen for the blood in these vessels. The oxygenated blood is then pumped by the heart throughout the body. The alveoli also take in carbon dioxide, which is then exhaled from the body. Inhaling is due to contractions of the diaphragm and of muscles between the ribs. Exhaling results from relaxation of those muscles. Each lung is surrounded by a two-layered membrane, or the pleura, that under normal circumstances has a very, very small amount of fluid between the layers. The fluid allows the membranes to easily slide over each other during breathing. Lungs The right lung has three lobes, while the left lung has two lobes. The two lungs are separated by a space called mediastinum. There are approximately three hundred million alveoli in the lungs. The right lung is broader, but shorter due to the presence of the liver on the right side of the abdomen. Residual volume is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after forceful expiration. It prevents collapse of the lungs during expiration.(1200ml) Tidal volume is the amount of air that moves in and out of the lungs with each normal breaths (500ml) Inspiratory reserve volume is the amount of extra air that can be inhaled after a normal breath Expiratory reserve volume is the amount of extra air that can be exhaled after a normal breath Total lung capacity is the total of all four volumes (residual, tidal, Inspiratory and expiratory reserve volume) Functional residual capacity is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after normal exhalation

 Pneumocytes. The type I pneumocytes line the alveoli whereas type II pneumocytes produce surfactant. Thorax and diaphragm The thorax provides protection for the lungs, heart and great vessels The thorax is made up of 12 pains of ribs, bounded anteriorly by the sternum and posteriorly by the thoracic vertebrae The diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle for inspiration. It is supplied by the phrenic nerve. The ff are the accessory muscles: for inspiration: sternocleidomastoid, scalene,parasternal, trapezius, and perctoralis muscles. They are used during increased work of breathing C.

METHODS Medication Describe the importance of regularly taking of prescribed medications including the potential unpleasant effects of non compliance Instruct the client to continue with follow up medical care Advise the client not to miss the intake of medications given by her physician upon discharge. Environment and exercise Maintain a quiet, pleasant, environment to promote relaxation.-Provide clean and comfortable environment. Have regular exercise. Encourage walking everyday. Be active on physical activities.

Treatment Continue home medications. For the follow-up check-up repeat. Encourage patient to take multivitamins for immunity Health Teachings Explain the underlying disorder and treatment plan. Lifestyle change (proper food preference) general health measures (adequate sleep, proper diet, and maintaining a clean surrounding). Instruct patient to limit his activity for 24 to 48 hrs after discharge. Provide written and oral instructions about activity, diet recommendations, medications, and follow-up visits.

Out Patient Patient will be advised to go back in the hospital in a specific date to have a follow-up check up after discharge. Consult doctor for are any problems or complications encountered. Diet diet as tolerated as much as possible Spiritual Nursing actions to help clients meet their spiritual needs include: providing presence supporting religious practices assisting clients with prayer referring client for spiritual counseling
