    The patient presented with symptoms of acute pneumonia including fever, increased pulse rate, dyspnea, fatigue and chest pain. On examination, decreased breath sounds and use of accessory muscles were noted. The diagnosis was community acquired pneumonia likely caused by bacterial or viral infection. The plan was for the patient to receive medications, fluids, deep breathing exercises, positioning changes and coughing techniques over 4 hours to clear breath sounds and resolve dyspnea. The interventions aimed to drain secretions, expand the lungs and promote coughing for airway clearance. After 4 hours, the patient's symptoms had improved as expected.
