Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pneumonia can present with increased respiratory rates (often greater than 60 breaths/minute in infants), use of accessory muscles and retractions due to difficulty breathing, hyperthermia (fever), and abdominal distention, especially in young children who may present with abdominal symptoms. Bulging sternum, decreased heart sounds, and abrupt duskiness are not typical presentations of pneumonia.
