Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that causes inflammation in the air sacs, making it difficult to breathe. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. The document discusses the causes, types, symptoms, complications, treatment including antibiotics and respiratory support, and nursing management of pneumonia with a focus on improving breathing, rest, hydration, and nutrition.
Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung parenchyma caused by various microorganisms, including bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Pneumonitis is a more general term that describes the inflammatory process in the lung tissue that may predispose and Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung parenchyma that is caused by a microbial agent.
place the patient at risk for microbial invasion.
Pneumonia is classified into four: community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), pneumonia in the immunocompromised host, and aspiration pneumonia.
Basic description of Infective Endocarditis from a Clinical and Microbiological point of view with description on Pathogenesis, Clinical Manifestations, Clinical and Laboratory diagnosis.
The lower respiratory system, or lower respiratory tract, consists of the trachea, the bronchi and bronchioles, and the alveoli, which make up the lungs. These structures pull in air from the upper respiratory system, absorb the oxygen, and release carbon dioxide in exchange.

Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. For some people, asthma is a minor nuisance

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. General objective:
At the end of this class students will be acquainted with
Pneumonia.
Specific objective:
Define Pneumonia.
Mention the causes of Pneumonia
Discuss the types of Pneumonia
Describe clinical manifestation of Pneumonia.
Discuss management of Pneumonia.
3.
4. Pneumonia is an infection in one or both lungs. It can be
caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
Pneumonia causes inflammation in the air sacs in your
lungs, which are called alveoli. The alveoli fill with fluid
or pus, making it difficult to breathe.
PNEUMONIA
6. Cerebral palsy
Other serious illnesses, such as heart disease, liver
cirrhosis, or diabetes mellitus
Impaired consciousness (loss of brain function due to
dementia, stroke, or other neurologic conditions)
Recent surgery or trauma
Immune system problem
9. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Inflammatory pulmonary response to
organism
Defense mechanism affected and organism penetrate the
lower airway
Alveolar sacs are affected fluid filled and gas exchange is
affected
Alveolar exudates tends to consolidate and difficult to expectorate
Engorgement of alveolar space with fluid & hemorrhagic exudates
Coagulation of exudates occurs resulting in the red appearance of affected lung
Neutrophils infiltrates the alveoli making the lung tissue to be solid and gray
13. Antibiotics are prescribed based on gram strain results and
antibiotic guidelines.
The management of pneumonia centers is a step-by-step
process that zeroes on the treatment of the infection
through identification of the causative agent.
Administration of macrolides. Macrolides are
recommended for people with drug-resistant S.
pneumoniae.
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
14. Hydration is an important part of the regimen because fever
and tachypnea may result in insensible fluid losses.
Administration of antipyretics. Antipyretics are used to
treat fever and headache.
Administration of antitussives. Antitussives are used for
treatment of the associated cough.
Bed rest. Complete rest is prescribed until signs of infection
are diminished.
Oxygen administration. Oxygen can be given if hypoxemia
develops.
15. Pulse oximetry. Pulse oximetry is used to determine the
need for oxygen and to evaluate the effectiveness of the
therapy.
Aggressive respiratory measures. Other measures
include administration of high concentrations of oxygen,
endotracheal intubation, and mechanical ventilation.
16. Nursing Assessment
Nursing assessment is critical in detecting pneumonia.
Assess respiratory symptoms.
Symptoms of fever, chills, or night sweats in a patient
should be reported immediately to the nurse as these can
be signs of bacterial pneumonia.
Assess clinical manifestations.
Respiratory assessment should further identify clinical
manifestations such as pleuritic pain, bradycardia,
tachypnea, and fatigue, use of accessory muscles for
breathing, coughing, and purulent sputum.
NURSING MANAGEMENT
17. Physical assessment.
Assess the changes in temperature and pulse; amount,
odor, and color of secretions; frequency and severity
of cough; degree of tachypnea or shortness of breath; and
changes in the chest x-ray findings.
Assessment in elderly patients. Assess elderly patients
for altered mental status, dehydration, unusual behavior,
excessive fatigue, and concomitant heart failure.
18. o Ineffective airway clearance related to copious
tracheobronchial secretions.
Activity intolerance related to impaired respiratory
function.
Risk for deficient fluid volume related to fever and a
rapid respiratory rate.
Nursing diagnosis
19. To improve airway patency:
Removal of secretions.
Adequate hydration of 2 to 3 liters per day thins and loosens
pulmonary secretions.
Humidification may loosen secretions and improve ventilation.
Coughing exercises. An effective, directed cough can also
improve airway patency.
Chest physiotherapy. Chest physiotherapy is important
because it loosens and mobilizes secretions.
20. To promote rest and conserve energy:
Encourage avoidance of overexertion and possible
exacerbation of symptoms.
Semi-Fowler’s position.
To promote fluid intake:
Fluid intake. Increase in fluid intake to at least 2L per day
to replace insensible fluid losses.
21. To maintain nutrition:
Fluids with electrolytes. This may help provide fluid,
calories, and electrolytes.
Nutrition-enriched beverages. Nutritionally enhanced
drinks and shakes can also help restore proper nutrition.
