The nurse provides a discharge instruction to a patient who was hospitalized for
pneumonia, which statement made by the patient indicates a good understanding of
the instructions?
1. I'll cancel my chest X-ray appointment if I am feeling better in the next two weeks
2. I will schedule two appointments for pneumonia and influenza vaccines
3. I will continue to do deep breathing and coughing exercises at home
4. I will call the Dr. if I still feel tired after a week
Give this one a try later!
3. I will continue to do deep breathing and coughing exercises at home
Deep breathing and coughing exercises are the proper protocol following
pneumonia. Following up with a chest X-ray is still necessary, whether the
patient feels better or not. Pneumonia and influenza vaccines can be done
in the same day. The patient will still feel tired following the hospitalization.
, The nurse supervises the unlicensed assertive personnel (UAP) who is providing care
for a patient with R lower lobe pneumonia, the nurse should intervene if...
1. The UAP lowers the head of the patient's bed to 15 degrees
2. The UAP assets the patient to ambulate to the bathroom
3. The UAP splints the patient's chest during coughing
4. The UAP helps the patient to the chair for bedside meals
Give this one a try later!
1. The UAP lowers the head of the patients bed to 15 degrees
If the patient has pneumonia, they are coughing and already having
difficulty breathing. Having the head of the bed that low will compromise
their airways. 30-45 degrees would help facilitate breathing and lower risk
for aspirations
A 66yr old male is found to have hospital acquired pneumonia, which of the following
statements made by the nurse indicates the correct understanding of HAP?
1. Occurring after inter-tracheal intubation
2. Occurring 48hrs or longer after admission
3. Onset before hospitalization
4. Occurring from normal entry of secretions into the lower airway
Give this one a try later!
2. Occurring 48hrs or longer after admission
There is a 48hr window following a patients admission to determine
whether a patient came into the hospital with a condition or infection. After
this period, it is determined that it was acquired while the patient was in the
hospital setting.
