Pneumonia can look different depending on its cause, but the end result is the same—fluid-filled alveoli that can’t exchange oxygen effectively. In this episode, Dr. Morgan Taylor, DNP, CPNP, CCRN, simplifies pneumonia into its three main types—bacterial, viral, and fungal—and explains what nurses need to watch for at the bedside.
We’ll cover:
A practice question on Pseudomonas pneumonia and care planning
Key differences between bacterial (freight train), viral (slow burn), and fungal (rare but severe) pneumonia
Morgan’s personal case study of having influenza A that progressed to pneumonia
Nursing priorities: when to start antivirals, when antibiotics are needed, and why rapid IV access is critical in bacterial and fungal cases
Whether you’re prepping for the NCLEX, in clinical rotations, or brushing up for practice, this episode gives you the knowledge to recognize pneumonia early and intervene fast.
