Woman admitted with a community-acquired pneumonia


Problem: A 78-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital 2 weeks ago with a community-acquired pneumonia. She was initially started on levofloxacin IV. Despite antibiotics, her condition deteriorated, and she required intubation and mechanical ventilation. In the ICU, her antibiotics were changed to piperacillin, tazobactam, and cefuroxime. Tube feeds were initiated while she was on the ventilator. She improved clinically and was extubated 3 days ago. Since transferring to the general medical floor, she developed profuse, watery, nonbloody diarrhea that is foul smelling. Episodes occur 6 to 8 times per day. She has no fever or chills. Her white blood cell count is elevated to 14,000. How would you plan for her discharge? Want 24x7 Assignment Help service online to answer above? What services do you anticipate the patient needing?
