Summary
Designed to be shown to the patient before discharge from the hospital, this program reviews the guidelines for continuing recovery from pneumonia at home. It covers the importance of keeping follow-up appointments, clearing lungs of fluid, taking medications as prescribed, getting physical activity, and continuing the breathing skills learned in the hospital. Avoiding sick people, getting flu and pneumonia vaccines, and making healthy lifestyle changes are also discussed as ways to minimize re-infection.
