Activity Description

Acute bronchitis, characterized by inflammation in the bronchi lining, is a frequent condition in emergency departments, urgent care centers, and primary care offices. Acute bronchitis ranks among the top 10 most common outpatient illnesses in the United States, affecting approximately 5% of adults annually. This activity discusses the evaluation and management of patients afflicted by acute bronchitis, accentuating the pivotal role played by the interprofessional healthcare team in delivering comprehensive care for these individuals. This activity provides healthcare professionals with the latest insights and evidence-based approaches to enhance their competence in diagnosing and managing acute bronchitis, ultimately improving patient outcomes and healthcare team performance.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Apply the key clinical features of acute bronchitis for an accurate diagnosis to distinguish it from other respiratory conditions and differentiate between viral and bacterial causes.

  • Assess patients presenting with acute bronchitis for underlying risk factors, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or immunosuppression, to develop appropriate management plans.

  • Implement evidence-based guidelines and treatment options for acute bronchitis, emphasizing nonpharmacological and pharmacological interventions as needed.

  • Collaborate with the interprofessional team to collectively provide evidence-based education on acute bronchitis, treatment expectations, and preventive measures.
