Complete Blood count

The resident physician asks that you obtain the following tests: CXR, ABG, EKG, and routine blood work (chemistry studies and complete blood count). The CXR suggests pneumonia, and the resident orders an IV antibiotic. Two hours later, as you start the antibiotic, you note that the patient is more short of breath. You request that the resident re-evaluate the patient.
