مريض في المستشفى منذ ٥ أيام صار عنده التهاب رئوي جديد. ما الذي يميز هذا النوع؟

A client in hospital for 5 days develops new pneumonia. What characterises this type?

1. It is viral and needs no antibiotic
2. Pneumococcus is its only cause
3. It is less serious than community-acquired pneumonia
4. A higher chance of drug-resistant organisms

Answer: D) A higher chance of drug-resistant organisms. Hospital-acquired pneumonia (after 48 hours) is more often caused by resistant organisms such as Pseudomonas and MRSA, so antibiotics follow local protocol with cultures.
