Which is NOT a goal of management in the treatment of bacterial pneumonia?
  1. Reversing alveolar ventilation
  2. Increasing ventilation perfusion mismatch
  3. Minimizing the effect of mucociliary transport
  4. Optimizing lymphatic drainage
Explanation
Answer: B - Increasing the ventilation perfusion mismatch is not a goal of management in the treatment of bacterial pneumonia.

Bacterial pneumonia is characterized by fever, tachypnea, dyspnea, hypoxemia, tachycardia, cough, and bloody or purulent sputum. Increasing the mismatch of ventilation and perfusion will lead to further respiratory distress. So it is not a goal of management.
