Document: • Although a new infiltrate seen on chest X-ray with compatible clinical signs is the gold standard for the diagnosis of NHAP, in nursing home settings the diagnosis must often be made on clinical grounds alone. • The physical examination must include blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and auscultation of the respiratory system • Ideally the diagnosis of pneumonia should be supported with chest X-ray, oxygen saturation, complete blood count and differential, blood cultures, and sputum cultures. • As these tests are frequently unavailable in the nursing home setting, refer to management below.
