pneumonia signs and symptoms - CORRECT ANSWER - - fever
- chills
- productive cough
- discomfort in chest wall muscles from coughing
- general discomfort

pneumonia medical management - CORRECT ANSWER - - antibiotic therapy for
bacterial pneumonia
- supplemental oxygen to alleviate hypoxemia
- cough suppressants and expectorants, may cause nausea
- mucolytics to make thick secretions easier to clear, may cause nausea and diarrhea
- fluid and electrolyte replacement necessary for fever, dehydration, and inadequate nutrition
- bronchodilators for dilating the airways, may cause increased heart rate, nervous or shaky
feeling
