Bronchopneumonia.
3. Present other ideal laboratory studies and their
implication to support the diagnosis of the disease.
4. Determine the appropriate nursing diagnosis for the

 DEFINITION
•

lammation of the lungs, arising in the bronchi or •

onchioles.

onchopneumonia is a type of pneumonia, a condition th

uses inflammation of the lungs. Symptoms can range fro
ld to severe and may include coughing, breathing difficu
d fever. Causes include bacterial, viral, or fungal chest
ections.
cording to the Centers for Disease Control and Preventio
DC), pneumonia is responsible for around 51,811 deaths
ch year in the United States, with the majority of these c
ing in adults aged 65 years old or more.
 CAUSES
• Many cases of bronchopneumonia are caused by bacteria. Outside the
body, the bacteria are contagious and can spread between people in close
proximity through sneezes and coughs. A person becomes infected by
breathing in the bacteria.
Common bacterial causes of bronchopneumonia include:
• Staphylococcus aureus
• • Haemophilus influenzae
• • Pseudomonas aeruginosa
• • Escherichia coli
• • Klebsiella pneumoniae
• • Proteus species
• The condition is commonly contracted in a hospital setting. People who
come to the hospital for treatment of other illnesses often have
compromised immune systems. Being sick affects how the body fights off
bacteria.
 RISK FACTOR
RISK FACTOR: •

There are several factors that can increase your risk •

of developing bronchopneumonia. These include:
Age: People who are 65 years of age or older, and •
children who are 2 years or younger, have a higher
risk for developing bronchopneumonia and
complications from the condition. •
Environmental: People who work in, or often visit, •
hospital or nursing home facilities have a higher risk
for developing bronchopneumonia.
Lifestyle: Smoking, poor nutrition, and a history of •
heavy alcohol use can increase your risk for
bronchopneumonia.
