Pneumonia 1: recognising risk, signs and symptoms.
This is a two-part unit on pneumonia. The first part explores the common signs and symptoms of pneumonia, and also explains how nurses can identify those with a high risk of acquiring the infection. In addition, part 1 outlines the signs and symptoms of sepsis and the criteria for a diagnosis of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).
