The physician was called to the hospital floor for the medical management of a 56-year-old patient admitted one day ago with aspiration pneumonia and COPD. No chest pain at present, but still SOB and some swelling in his lower extremities. The patient was tachypneic yesterday; lungs reveal coarse crackles in both bases, right worse than left. The physician writes instructions to continue with intravenous antibiotic treatment and respiratory support with ventilator management. He reviewed chest x-ray and labs. The patient is improving, and a pulmonary consultation has been requested. What CPT® code is reported?

The nurse is caring for a patient who has been diagnosed with pneumonia. The patient reports intermittent episodes of cough accompanied by thick yellow sputum. On auscultation, the nurse finds abnormal lung sounds (crackles) in the left base and both upper lobes. A chest x-ray reveals infiltrations in both upper lobes and the left lower lobe. Which instructions given by the nurse are appropriate for this patient? Select all that apply.
