NURSING ANM AND GNM

Detailed explanation-1: -Lung diseases, such as asthma, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, or COPD, also increase your pneumonia risk. Other serious conditions, such as malnutrition, diabetes, heart failure, sickle cell disease, or liver or kidney disease, are additional risk factors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Take good care of medical conditions (like asthma, diabetes, or heart disease). Certain people are more likely to become ill with pneumonia: adults 65 years or older; children younger than 5 years old; people who have ongoing medical conditions (like asthma, diabetes or heart disease); and people who smoke cigarettes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The development of pneumonia requires that a pathogen reach the alveoli and that the host defenses are overwhelmed by microorganism virulence or by the inoculum size. The endogenous sources of microorganisms are nasal carriers, sinusitis, oropharynx, gastric, or tracheal colonization, and hematogenous spread.
