Pneumonia

This Discussion topic is based on a case study. As in all case studies, review the facts of the case and consider the various steps of the nursing process in order to address the critical thinking questions.

Case Study:

J.D., an 83-year-old Caucasian male client in the hospital, has been diagnosed with pneumonia. The client has a history of chronic bronchitis and had a thoracotomy 2 weeks ago. He lives in a home infested with cockroaches. At his most recent visit to the health center, his ABGs come back as:

pH = 7.31, pCO2 = 49, and HCO3 = 23.

What do you know about J.D. without receiving any further information?
What further information would you need to care for J.D.?
What are the initial interventions you would use for J.D.?
What are your top two priority interventions at this point in his care?
What teachings should you provide for J.D.?
What are safety considerations for this client?
What specific type of acid-base imbalance does this client have?
What is the most probable origin of the acid-base imbalance?
What treatments would you anticipate providing for this client? Why?
