Bronchopneumonia may cause increased sputum production, shortness of breath, fever, impaired gas exchange, and respiratory failure complications. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2023, bronchopneumonia as part of pneumonia caused approximately 2.6 million deaths worldwide each year. In Indonesia, the number of bronchopneumonia cases reached 446,437 cases in 2022. In West Sumatra Province, bronchopneumonia cases were recorded at 3,546 cases in 2021 and increased to 5,591 cases in 2022. Based on data from RSUD Prof. H. M. Yamin, S.H Pariaman, there were 44 bronchopneumonia cases in 2025. This study aimed to provide medical surgical nursing care for patients with bronchopneumonia in the Pulmonary Ward of RSUD Prof. H.
