Common Questions and Answers about Risk for pneumonia nursing diagnosis

pneumonia

Avatar n tn Interesting that you would have had pneumonia as there is an increased risk of pneumonia for persons using an inhaled steroid. Despite that alleged risk, the benefit of these drugs far outweighs the risk of pneumonia in the majority of persons.
Avatar f tn They have progressively gotten worse over the past 5 years. I tried working in a nursing home for a couple of months and I ended up having to quit because I would come home in tears every night because of the pain. There is certain things I loved to do, like fishing, that has become a challenge for me because I cannot bend over a lot or it aggravates the pain. I I have been to all kinds of drs the past 5 years to try and get this resolved.
Avatar n tn s human nature to want to place an animal on its back like a human baby to nurse, failing to realize that the natural nursing position for puppies and kittens is on their bellies. Yes, they sometimes get turned over, but for the most part you will always see them on their bellies while they're nursing. I have often thought the same as you, that there HAS to be something that can be done.
Avatar m tn ) I would also ask the specific reasons why the blockages cannot be stented, which is far less invasive and of course a far lower risk after pneumonia because only local anaesthetic is involved.
Avatar n tn Hi bibban12, The thing about pneumonia is it's just a broad term for lung inflammation, and the air sacs filling up with fluid, but it isn't a specific diagnosis of what caused the pneumonia.
Avatar m tn Thanks. What I can assure to you is that I never engaged myself into anal sex (protected/unprotected), alcohol and drugs.
Avatar f tn Since you already have diagnosis for colitis, pneumonia and tinea, you should have asked the doctor each time when you got the diagnosis.
Avatar m tn BACKSTORY In 2012 I was working in a bar. Part of that job involved flipping chairs and mopping. during this time I noticed a pain in my chest, (lower left lateral chest) that felt as though I pulled a muscle. This was in March. In November 2012 the pain had still not stopped. Here I should tell you that I am a heavy smoker (pack a day). Anyways towards the end of the month I woke up in the middle of the night thinking I had a heart attack.
Avatar n tn Am not a doctor, but this sounds like pneumonia. I use to work in a nursing home and seen people with this problem..u need the hospital...please go straight away...
Avatar f tn Thank you very much for your suggestions. When you asked if the doctors had checked for pneumonia or other lung infections, caused by aspiration, would that cause her oxygen levels to rise and fall so quickly?
Avatar n tn Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), alcohol use, pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs), pneumonia _______________________________________________ But most commonly, atrial fibrillation occurs as a result of some other cardiac condition (secondary atrial fibrillation). Heart valve disease: This can be something you are born with or be caused by infection or degeneration/calcification of valves with age. Enlargement of the left ventricle walls (left ventricular hypertrophy).
Avatar f tn Even IF the child had HIV (which would be HIGHLY unlikely, and like Vance said, most likely the staff would be made aware of his diagnosis), you wouldn't have a risk with a small cut.
Avatar f tn In looking at the drug interaction information, it seems that those who are taking the corticosteriods, are even more at risk for muscle rupture and more at risk for developing pneumonia. A chest x-ray a couple of days ago confirmed that I do NOT have pneumonia now, but I can still hear sounds in my lungs when I do deep breathing.
1609219 tn?1298104935 Very interesting. The two systems ARE linked. WHY you are having recurrent pneumonia is not apparent, but you don't say what kind of MD has you on all the antibiotics...maybe a Pulmonary specialist? You don't say, either, if you have had Bronchoscopy for diagnosis. Also...just a thought, is is possible that something in you home or workplace is the cause of the recurrent infections?? I'd sure look into that.
1618318 tn?1318196283 I have swallowing disorders that put me at risk for aspiration pneumonia. Are there any tests that can be done to differentiate the type of pneumonia? I have had several xrays done on my chest and was put on antibiotics.
Avatar m tn The xray came back as either pneumonia or lung cancer. Small mass found on lower left lung. Treating me for pneumonia. I will have repeat xray possible cat scan. Asking in advance. How often is this found? Can pneumonia look like lung cancer? Day two of medication and I do feel better and fever broke. I still have pains from my cough and still expereince the sweaty, hot and cold bouts but feel better despite general aches and pains. They said possible cavitary pneumoina.
Avatar n tn (Most HIV infected people who get pneumonia have been seriously ill for several months before pneumonia appears. Pneumonia out of the blue does not suggest HIV.) The "vaginal infections", diarrhea, gingivitis, sinusitis, and your self-diagnosis of enlarged lymph nodes probably are meaningless as well. As to your comment below, whenever a person suspects his or her own symptoms are due to anxiety, s/he usually is correct.
1371879 tn?1278467037 I took him to the vet and they said he had aspiration pneumonia in only the right lung. After 10 days on Clavamox his nose looked almost healed and the fur started growing back on the lip. He coughed up the abcess in his lung and survived that. (coughing up the blood and mucus looked painful) No more signs of coughing and he is eating, drinking, pooping and peeing normally. But,,, the nose started looking burned again with new black scabs. Is this ring worm or skin cancer?
Avatar f tn He stated that I had pneumonia (I thought I had the flu), but he also ordered a blood test for TB to rule TB out (test was negative for TB). I was started on antibiotics immediately. I was then transferred to another hospital the next day (due to insurance) where I met a different pulmonologist.
Avatar f tn Pneumonia can have many etiologies. Generally not, however there are exceptions. If you follow your physician's instructions explicitly, get plenty of rest, and take all the medications prescribed (even if you begin to feel better), you will most likely recover full lung capacity. If you continue to have a yellowish orbn greenish sputem after three days do not hesitate to bring this to the attention to your physician.
Avatar n tn My diagnosis was then bronchitis that turned into pneumonia, double ear infection, sinus infection. So I began another regimen of Amox-Clav 875mg, prednisone, cough syrup with hydrocodone in it, After finishing all of that round of medicines, I felt better but still not back to myself at all. Now after a week+ of being off antibiotics I am as sick as ever!!
Avatar f tn yes .endo and surgeon both reccomended surgery for a proprer diagnosos. will have surgery after i finish nusing my baby. I dont want surgery and wish there was a different way to get results. I also dont want my thyroid out. I am nervous of the unknown and am fearing the worst with regulating my weight and hormone levels, i am hypo now and in a normal weight range. i just hope my docs are able to help me after..
Avatar m tn He said that I had Walking Pneumonia and gave me different medicine. 6 days later, I woke up at 4AM gasping for air. I went to the ER, had another chest x-ray, and was told I had Viral Pneumonia. I was given different medications (and an inhaler with aerochamber) and sent home. The medicine was actually starting to work until it ran out. I finally got in to see my regular doctor. He examined me and decided something had irritated my lungs. He put me on an Advair inhaler.
Avatar m tn Just a refined question Hi all, I have recently visited an Asian massage parlour where a Thai girl done a deepthroat oral on me with a condom she was doing it fairly rough and then she took it off and masturbated me while she put the condom on a vibrator and wanted to insert it into my annus,after I stopped her she rolled it off and put it on her finger as she fingered my anus.
