Case Study 1
HH is a 68 yo M who has been admitted to the medical ward with community-acquired pneumonia for
the past 3 days. His PMH is significant for COPD, HTN, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. He remains on
empiric antibiotics, which include ceftriaxone 1 g IV qday (day 3) and azithromycin 500 mg IV qday
(day 3). Since admission, his clinical status has improved, with decreased oxygen requirements. He is
not tolerating a diet at this time with complaints of nausea and vomiting.

undiscovered by the provider yet. Further physical examination and a KUB are necessary to determine if
the N and V are a side effect of the medications or caused by a different condition.
Hydration status of the patient. The patient has been having N and V. It is essential to maintain the
patient well hydrated during recovery time because hydration loosens up the secretion, which makes

intake and output measurement are essential to prevent dehydration.
Length of IV antibiotic therapy. The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) recommends treating
CAP patients who are hospitalized with five to seven days of empiric antibiotics (File, 2020). IDSA
recommends to re-evaluate patients by the fifth to the seventh day before stopping the antibiotic,
