The patient presented with complaints of fatigue and difficulty breathing due to pneumonia. Upon assessment, the patient displayed decreased breath sounds, crackles on auscultation, elevated shoulders, and decreased fremitus. The nursing diagnosis was ineffective breathing pattern related to fatigue from pneumonia. The plan was for the patient to sustain a normal respiratory rate, tolerate daily activities, demonstrate proper breathing exercises, and decrease fatigue within 6 hours through nursing interventions like assessing airway patency, auscultating the lungs, and administering prescribed medications. The expected outcome was achieved as the patient's respiratory rate normalized, secretions decreased, and fatigue was alleviated.
