Nursing Assessment for Pneumonia Care

The document discusses a patient presenting with difficulty breathing and cough with phlegm who is diagnosed with pneumonia based on subjective and objective findings, and outlines a plan to maintain airway patency, reduce congestion, and display improved respiratory status through various nursing interventions like positioning, suctioning, oral airway insertion, increasing fluids and administering medications. The goal is for the patient to demonstrate absence of tachypnea, dyspnea and tachycardia after 8 hours of nursing care.
