Careplan

Pneumonia (Pediatric Inpatient)

Nov.08.2021

Pneumonia (Pediatric Inpatient)

Clinical Description

Care of the hospitalized child experiencing an infection of the pulmonary parenchyma that occurs as either a primary disease or as a complication of another condition.

Key Information

Knowledge of previous antimicrobial therapy exposure and drug resistance patterns in the patient’s local area may influence choice of empiric antimicrobial therapy (e.g., methicillin, beta-lactam, macrolide).

De-escalated (narrowing antibiotic therapy or changing from combination to monotherapy) rather than fixed antibiotic regimens are suggested for patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Clinical Goals

By transition of care

A. The patient will achieve the following goals:

Fluid Balance
Resolution of Infection Signs and Symptoms
Effective Oxygenation and Ventilation

B. Patient, family or significant other will teach back or demonstrate education topics and points:

Education: Overview
Education: Self Management
Education: When to Seek Medical Attention

Correlate Health Status

Correlate health status to:
- history, comorbidity, congenital anomaly
- age, developmental level
- sex, gender identity
- baseline assessment data
- physiologic status
- response to medication and interventions
- psychosocial status, social determinants of health
- barriers to accessing care and services
- child and family/caregiver:
- safety risks
- family interaction
- plan for transition of care

Fluid Imbalance

Signs/Symptoms/Presentation: Fluid Deficit

capillary refill delayed
eyes sunken
fatigue
fontanel sunken (infant)
irritability
listless
mucous membranes dry
peripheral pulse strength decreased
skin turgor decreased
tearing decreased or absent
thirst
urinary output decreased
urine concentration increased

Signs/Symptoms/Presentation: Fluid Excess

bounding pulses
breath sounds change
crackles in lungs
edema
neck and hand veins distended

restlessness
shortness of breath
wheezing

Vital Signs

heart rate increased or decreased
blood pressure increased or decreased

Laboratory Values

BUN (blood urea nitrogen) abnormal
Hct (hematocrit) abnormal
serum sodium abnormal
urine specific gravity abnormal

Problem Intervention

Monitor and Manage Fluid Balance

Assess fluid requirements to determine fluid therapy strategy.
Keep accurate intake, output and daily weight; monitor trends.
Monitor laboratory value trends and need for treatment adjustment.
Assess need for ongoing intravenous fluid therapy; encourage oral intake when able.
Assess neurologic status frequently due to risk of hyponatremia.

Diagnostic Results

Problem Intervention

Prevent Infection Progression

Implement transmission-based precautions and isolation, as indicated, to prevent spread of infection.
Obtain cultures prior to initiating antimicrobial therapy when possible. Do not delay treatment for laboratory results in the presence of high suspicion or clinical indicators.
Administer ordered antimicrobial therapy promptly; reassess need regularly.
Monitor laboratory value, diagnostic test and clinical status trends for signs of infection progression.
Identify early signs of sepsis, such as increased heart rate or temperature, as well as changes in mental state, respiratory pattern or peripheral perfusion.
Prepare for rapid sepsis management, including lactate level, intravenous access, fluid administration and oxygen therapy.
Provide fever-reduction and comfort measures.

Problem Intervention

Promote Airway Secretion Clearance

Assess the effectiveness of pulmonary hygiene and ability to perform airway clearance techniques.
Promote early mobility or ambulation; match activity to ability and tolerance.
Encourage deep breathing and lung expansion therapy to prevent atelectasis; adjust treatment to patient’s response.
Anticipate the need to splint chest or abdominal wall with cough to minimize discomfort; assist if needed.
Initiate cough-enhancement and airway-clearance techniques with instruction.
Consider pharmacologic therapy, such as beta-2 agonist, mucolytic, corticosteroid, antimicrobial, that may improve inflammation, mucus clearance, cough response and air flow.

Cough And Deep Breathing

Problem Intervention

Optimize Oxygenation and Ventilation

Assess and monitor airway, breathing and circulation for effective oxygenation and ventilation; consider oxygenation and ventilation parameters and goal.
Maintain head of bed elevation with regular position changes to minimize ventilation-perfusion mismatch and breathlessness; consider prone positioning to maximize alveolar recruitment.
Provide oxygen therapy judiciously to avoid hyperoxemia; adjust to achieve oxygenation goal.
Monitor fluid balance closely to minimize the risk of fluid overload.
Consider positive pressure ventilation to enhance oxygenation and ventilation, as well as reduce work of breathing.
