| What are the 3 Key signs of bacterial pneumonia? | 1. Expectoration of yellow sputum 2. Increased White Blood Cell count 3. Presence of Fever |
| Aspiration pneumonia results in what type of anatomic alterations? | - alveolar consolidation - atelectasis - inflammation of the alveoli |
| What term applies to the filling of alveolar spaces as a result of pneumonia? | Effusion |
| The expression "walking pneumonia" is generally applied to patient with what typed of pneumonia? | Mycoplasma pneumoniae |
| The most commonly found bacterial cause for pneumonia is: | Streptococcus pneumoniae |

| As the respiratory therapist, you have given supplemental oxygen to a patient with pneumonia. What would cause the patient to be hypoxemic? 1. Diffusion defect 2. Capillary shunting 3. Alveolar consolidation 4. Hypoventilation | B. 2, 3 Pneumonia causes hypoxemia because of alveolar consolidation and related capillary shunting. A diffusion defect is found in patients with pulmonary fibrosis. Because of hypoxemia, patients with pneumonia will hyperventilate, not hypoventilate. |
