Study Notes
Pneumonia and Tuberculosis Questions & Answers
-
Question 1: Most common cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is Streptococcus pneumoniae (approximately 50%). Other causes include Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tuberculosis), Influenza virus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, but less common.
-
Question 2: Unilateral lung involvement in suspected bacterial pneumonia points to lobar pneumonia. Bronchopneumonia is patchy and scattered, aspiration pneumonia is from inhaled substances, and viral pneumonia is often mild and scattered.
-
Question 3: The hallmark of a positive Mantoux test for tuberculosis (TB) is induration (a raised, hardened area) at the injection site, not just redness.
-
Question 4: A concerning finding in a pneumonia patient's arterial blood gas (ABG) results is a pH of 7.28 and a PaCO2 of 50 mmHg, indicating respiratory acidosis.
-
Question 5: Initial two months of active tuberculosis treatment involves a combination of rifampin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide.
-
Question 6: The priority intervention for a pneumonia patient is administering antibiotics as ordered to treat the infection.
-
Question 7: Low pH of aspirated material in aspiration pneumonia is a key factor contributing to the severity of the inflammation.
-
Question 8: Sputum culture is the gold standard for confirming a tuberculosis diagnosis.
-
Question 9: Inaccurate statement about pneumococcal vaccination: Patients need multiple doses and/or revaccinations for effective lifetime immunity and prevent severe pneumonia.
-
Question 10: Sudden onset of fever, chills, productive cough is a typical symptom of bacterial pneumonia.
-
Question 11: The expected pharmacologic regimen for latent tuberculosis is isoniazid for 6-9 months.
-
Question 12: Sputum culture is the best diagnostic test for identifying active tuberculosis in a patient with a positive Mantoux test.
-
Question 13: Immediate intervention is required for a patient with pneumonia and sepsis who has a lactate level above 4 mmol/L.
-
Question 14: Intervening with a patient experiencing pleuritic chest pain during coughing involves teaching splinting.
-
Question 15: The most likely pathogen in a patient with suspected opportunistic pneumonia and immune compromise is Pneumocystis jirovecii.
-
Question 16: Maintaining airway patency in a bacterial pneumonia patient involves endotracheal suctioning as ordered.
-
Question 17: Completing the full course of tuberculosis therapy is essential to prevent resistance.
