Question

Conduct an academic search of literature and identify current best practice associated with ONE nursing intervention for a person with Pneumonia

(keep it short and simple)

Answer 1

Pneumonia is one of the major causes of morbidity, in-hospital mortality, and readmission rates. nursing care and intervention and current treatment modalities benefit the patient with cost-effectiveness. observational studies including aged 74 years, 50 patients to participate in the study with the symptoms of confusion, cough, dyspnea, fever, exploration, and respiratory pain, tachypnea or lung crepitus, informed consent obtained. patient from 50 one refused to participate, four had confusion, and the other 15 excluded from studies due to inability to provide consent. only 30 patients with pneumonia admitted to the emergency department and medical unit. for each patient, one health practitioner was assigned. total 40nurse,40physians, and 6 physiotherapists delivered evidence-based guidelines for health care for the patient and they were observed during the study. evidence-based guidelines included sputum mobilization, fluid maintenance, nutrition, oxygen therapy, and oral care, the most important nursing care delivered by the nurses. each patient's individual needs followed with nursing care. The first observation focus on ED adherence to medical treatment, treatment plan mode, and diagnosis establishment. other observations in the medical unit focus on nursing intervention for general management, nutrition, fluids, mobilization, etc. there was an identifiable gap between current clinical practice and evidence-based recommendations for an older patient with pneumonia. there was potential serious gaps in the diagnostic procedure and medical treatment, general management that impact patient outcomes and safety. general management that is nursing intervention by the nurses' oxygen therapy, sputum mobilization, and oral care reduces the complication and hospital length of stay and ventilator-associated pneumonia. health care practitioner evidence-based guidelines practice and treatment for these patients provided fewer health outcomes. while
evidence-based treatment and care with nursing care interventions provided best practice health outcomes for pneumonia patients.
