    This document outlines nursing care plans for patients with pneumonia. It includes short and long term assessment objectives to monitor the patient's temperature and recovery from hyperthermia. Nursing interventions include establishing rapport, monitoring vital signs every 4 hours, providing tympanic membrane temperature assessments, instructing caregivers, and monitoring fluid intake and output. The rationales explain how each intervention helps lower the patient's temperature, release heat, and replace fluid losses. The expected outcomes are for the patient's temperature to drop below 38°C within 4 hours and to be free from hyperthermia within 2-3 days of nursing interventions.

    Pneumonia Nursing Care Plans

    ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES Short term: After 4 of NI, the pts temperature will drop from 38.4 C to 37 C Long term: After 2-3 days of NI, the patient will be free from hyperthermia. NURSING INTERVENTIONS 1. Establish Rapport 2. Monitor VS q 4. 3. Provide TSB as a measure. 4. Instruct SO to provide with loose clothing. 5. Assess skin temperature and color. 6. Monitor WBC count. 7. Encourage fluid intake orally or intravenously as ordered. 8. Measure intake and output. RATIONALE 1. To gain trust and have a nurse patient relationship 2. To establish baseline data of the pts 3. To lower pts temperature 4. To release heat and to provide comfort 5. Warm, dry, flushed skin may indicate a fever. 6. eucocytes indicate an inflammatory and infectious process presence. 7. Replaces fluid lost by insensible loss and perspiration. 8. Determine fluid balance and need to increase fluid intake. EXPECTED OUTCOMES Short term: After 4 of NI, the pts temperature shall drop from 38.4 C to 37.4 or lower C. Long term: After 2-3 days of NI, the patient shall be free from hyperthermia.
