    Pneumonia with COPD is an infection that inflames the air sacs in the lungs. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Symptoms include cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. Risk factors include a weakened immune system, hospitalization, chronic lung or heart disease, and smoking. Diagnostic tests include chest x-rays, oxygen saturation levels, sputum and blood cultures. Treatment involves antibiotics, bronchodilators, anti-inflammatories, and antipyretics. Patients are advised to rest, maintain hand hygiene, avoid crowds, stop smoking, and get vaccinations to prevent future infections. Complications

    an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs.
    Pneumonia with copd The air sacs may fill with fluid or pus , causing cough with wash hands, eat right, get adequate
    phlegm or pus, fever, chills, & difficulty breathing. A variety amount of sleep, exercise, stay from

    ASSESSMENT SAFETY
    CONSIDERATIONS
    Risk Factors Expected Findings -droplet isolation
    -Having a weakened immune system anxiety, fatigue, weakness, chest for patient
    -Being hospitalized or being on a ventilator discomfort due to coughing, confusion -position of bed for
    -Having a chronic condition including asthma, from hypoxia is the most common
    chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, manifestation of this disease in older
    maximum
    structural lung disease and heart disease.
    adults ventilation
    -Smoking or 2nd hand smoking -regularly check
    O2 to make sure
    pt can breathe
    Laboratory Tests Diagnostic Procedures adequately
    -Sputum culture -chest xray: will show density of -risk for aspiration
    -CBC:elevated wbc count(infection)
    -ABGs:hypoxemia lung tissue
    -Blood culture: to rule out organisms in the blood -Pulse Ox: pt will usually have less
    electrolytes: to identify manifestations of dehydration
    than expected range of 95-100%

    PATIENT-CENTERED CARE Complications


    Nursing Care Medications Client Education -Atelectasis:
    continue meds for treatment of
    airway
    -position pt for max vantilation -Antibiotics: given
    (high-Fowlers), encourage coughing to destroy the disease, rest as needed, maintain inflammation &
    admin breathing treatments & hand hygiene, avoid crowded areas edema can lead to
    medications, admin O2 & assess skin infectious for risk of infection, discontinue use of
    breakdown from method, promote pathogens tobacco, obtain vaccinations for alveolar collapse
    nutrition & fluid intake, rest periods -Bronchodilators: influenza & pneumonia, drink fluids to & increase risk of
    thin the mucus
    given to reduce hypoxemia
    bronchospasms &
    reduce irritation
    -Bacteremia

    s: decrease airway pathogens enter
    -medications (antibiotics, inflammation -respiratory services: for inhalers, the bloodstream
    -Antipyretic: breathing treatments, suctioning
    cough medicine, inhaler, -nutrition: consulted for weight loss from the infection
