a. 8-28 b. 15-35 c. 25-50 d. 38-76 Q. 2 The mortality rate for VAP depends on which of the following? 1. Length of stay on the ventilator 2. Presence of underlying disease 3. Prior antimicrobial therapy 4. Presence of a heated humidifier a. 1 and 2 only b. 2 and 3 only c. 1 and 4 only d. 1, 2, 3, and 4 Q. 3 The type of organism that most often causes ventilator-acquired pneumonia is which of the fol-lowing? a. Fungi b. Bacteria c. Viruses d. Protozoa Q. 4 Pneumonia that was not incubating at the time of admission is one that develops a minimum of how many hours after admission? a. 12 hours b. 24 hours c. 48 hours d. 72 hours Q. 5 A patient was intubated in the emergency department just after arrival at the hospital from home. This patient develops VAP 36 hours after intubation. What type of pneumonia is this considered? a. Early-onset VAP b. Late-onset VAP c. Health care-associated pneumonia d. Nonhospital-acquired pneumonia Title: The incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia for all intubated patients is ___________. Post by: werty on Feb 25, 2018 The incidence of VAP ranges from 8 to 28 for all intubated patients. The overall attributable mortality rate for VAP depends on the infecting organism or organisms, the presence of underlying disease, and prior antimicrobial therapy. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is most often caused by bacterial infections, but it can also be caused by fungal infections or associated with viral epidemics. Pneumonias that develop 48 hours after a patient is admitted or placed on a mechanical ventilator are hospital-acquired pneumonias. The development of pneumonia within 48 hours of admission and intubation is a result of an in-fection that was incubating at the time of admission.
