Pneumonia   J18.9  Evidenced on chest imaging.  Pneumonia is multifocal and given history of recent influenza infection, pneumonia is likely to be post influenza pneumonia which is usually caused by MRSA.  We will give broad coverage antibiotics to include MRSA infection-cefepime and vancomycin  -Send pneumonia labs  -Continue oxygen supplementation to maintain SPO2 above 92%  -Other respiratory protocol to continue  -Get MRSA swab  -Pharmacy to dose vancomycin   2. Sepsis   A41.9  Meets SIRS criteria on admission with high-grade fever tachycardia, and leukocytosis.  Lactate is normal so no severe sepsis. , imaging for multifocal infiltrate.  Blood cultures pending, urinalysis appears weakly positive at this time URINE sample is dirty evidenced by squamous epithelium, procalcitonin pending, lactate repeat WNL.  Continue empiric coverage with cefepime and vancomycin de-escalate therapy as appropriate. SARS CoV 2 negative.  Continue IVF at 100cc/hr   3. Acute respiratory failure   J96.00  Secondary to pneumonia  Management as outlined in #1   4. Chronic kidney disease   N18.9  Creatinine at baseline.  Patient reports reduced urinary output, will monitor urinary output closely with IV hydration for response.  Avoid nephrotoxic medications   5. Dependence on CPAP ventilation   Z99.89  Due to OSA.  Patient needs nightly CPAP for OSA  To ensure continuation during hospitalization.   6. HTN (hypertension)   I10  Chronic  Continue home meds as blood pressure tolerates   7.
