Nursing care in patients with pneumonia
Session
Nursing and Medical Sciences
Description
Entry-Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs that can affect people of all ages. Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi. It is an infection of the small airways and alveoli.
The alveoli fill with fluid or pus, making it difficult to breathe.
Purpose-The main purpose of the study is to know the disease of pneumonia, etiology and pathogenesis, complications and medications, as well as nursing care in patients with pneumonia. Through this work and study that I have done I aimed to provide science and for the medical staff a material as important and understandable as the disease of pneumonia.
Material and methods- This study uses a mix of data collection methods and research methods. As for the ways of studying, we have the possibilities of qualitative and quantitative ways. The target of the study are patients with this disease, information provided by the ward nurses.
Results- From the study I did, where I received information from competent persons and requests for statistics in the regional hospital of Ferizaj, I identified that of most of the 31 persons, 58% of them were male and only 42% female. This may be due to the lifestyle that most men have. Of these, 16 persons were over the age of 50. It appeared from these data that it was concluded that pneumonia is more easily caused in older persons due to the weakening of the body's immune system and the presence of other diseases. The research also shows that it is more concentrated by patients from urban areas (51.6%), compared to patients and rural areas (48.4%).
CONCLUSION - Pneumonia, like any other disease, requires special care. As nurses, we must recognize the signs of this disease and provide adequate care. Each patient who comes to us with the characteristic symptoms of this disease must be offered special and continuous care until we find that he does not have a serious problem.
