Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the
air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs
may fill with fluid or pus causing cough with
phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty
breathing. A variety of organisms, including
bacteria, viruses, and fungi, can cause
pneumonia.

Monitor for changes in
patient level of
consciousness
Provide oxygen
at a 2L per
minute via nasal
cannula as
directed.
Assess vital sign
every 15 minutes for
alteration in blood
pressure and heart
rate
-Patient will have appropriate gas
exchange as shown in their normal
mental condition, independent
breathing of 40 – 60 minutes,
oximeter with accepted value,
blood gases within expected range
and their standard heart rate
-Patient will not show sign of
negative respiratory distress
symptoms
Impaired gas
exchange related to
viral pneumonia as
evidence by irregular
breathing pattern,
cyanosis, and
uneasiness
Within 4 hours of nursing
intervention patient will
have a stabilized
temperature within normal
limit
Assess skin
color, body
temperature,
capillary refill,
and difference
between central
and peripheral
cyanosis.
Evaluate
respiratory status
if there is a decline
in breathing rate
or occurrence of
apnea
Administer
prescribed
antiviral and
antipyretic
Maintain adequate
hydration to aid in
mobilization and
expectoration of
secretion
Provide
nutritional
support to meet
increased
energy demand
and high
metabolic rate√
Suction airway as
indicated to
stimulate cough
and clear airway
Remove excessive
clothing, blanket,
and linen, adjust
room temperature
Hyperthermia
related to RSV infection
as evidence by
Temperature 38.2°C,
rapid and shallow
breathing. Flushed skin
Provide cooling
blanket when
needed. Return to

Evidence-Based Practice
Patients with respiratory syncytial virus
infection exhibit enhanced susceptibility to
subsequent pneumococcal infections.
However, the underlying mechanisms
involved in this increased susceptibility
remains unclear. We identified potentially
novel cellular and molecular cascades
triggered by RSV infection to exacerbate
secondary pneumococcal pneumonia
