Question

Diagnosis: Community Acquired Pneumonia Case Study Discussion – What aspects from the case study were the most relevant in order to help confirm this diagnosis? Formulate a treatment plan and support your plan of care by incorporating evidence based rationale. What is the goal of treatment? Should this patient be admitted to the hospital? Why or why not? What organisms are most commonly responsible for the development of CAP? What medications will need to be prescribed? Be sure to include important patient education in the patient’s plan of care.

Answer 1

Case study analysis advance in community- acquired pneumonia (CAP) and antimicrobial development, identification of organisms making this diagnosis, preventive measures, patient education..This case study represents a report diagnosed with CAP and need of early diagnosis, immunization, intervention to reduce mortality and morbidity rates..

Treatment plan should include the early findings that indicate pneumonia, physical examination and past medical history,disgnosis like XRay to rule out cause of symptoms, CBC count, WBC count, blood culture, urine antigen to detect particular pathogens..

Hospital admission is important to avoid risk and complication..lower risk patient can be treated as a outpatient to prevent hospital aquired infection can thrombo embolic events..

Identify the difference between pneumonia and influenza and reduce the mortality in patients..Antibiotic regimens with isolation overcome this type of Resistance mechanism..

Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria cause this pneumonia..s.pneumonia becoming more resistant to currently available antibiotics referred to as drug- macrolides like Azithromycin having resistant rate for s.pneumoniae..
