Sorry! This is close. You recognized that this patient is coming in from home and has not been hospitalized for ≥ 48 hours. Therefore, Pseudomonal coverage is not required. We only need to worry about the usual community-acquired organisms: S. pneumo, N. meningitidis, S. aureus, and HSV. However, we're missing one other key organism. The patient's age is also a clue as to what this might be.
