Explain in detail, to a level appropriate to other health professionals, the disruptions to normal physiology that occur with Pneumonia, and explain how these disruptions have resulted in two (2) of the abnormal assessment findings you have identified.

This assessment task requires you to submit a report in which you discuss your initial assessment of John, your interpretation of the assessment findings and your subsequent nursing management. In addition to an introduction and conclusion, your paper should include all of the following sections:
Primary Survey
Apply the primary survey assessment framework in order to identify the relevant assessment data already provided in the case study and identify the additional assessments you would need to conduct in order to complete the primary survey. Your discussion should include interpretation of abnormal assessment findings in the context of the normal or expected findings.
Underlying Pathophysiology
Explain in detail, to a level appropriate to other health professionals, the disruptions to normal physiology that occur with Pneumonia, and explain how these disruptions have resulted in two (2) of the abnormal assessment findings you have identified.
Nursing Management
Utilise national, state or local best practice guidelines to prioritise the first 5 nursing interventions you would provide to John. This care should include nurse-initiated interventions and assessments in addition to any medications that would be prescribed. Each intervention, assessment or medication should be supported with a rationale that explains how it relates to, or addresses the underlying pathophysiology of Pneumonia.
The guidelines you access will provide you with the required interventions, however you will need to access other suitable resources to locate information to inform your rationales.
