sharing driks, kissing, direct exposure to salivia
27
symtoms of mono
fatigue, fever, sore throat, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly (VOID CONTACT SPORTS TO PREVENT INJURY TO SPLEEN OR LIVER), and swollen lymph nodes.
28
mono treatment
abx not effective bc it is virus
-treatment for mononucleosis is management of symptoms and includes hydration, rest (for fatigue), control of painIibuprhen nor tylenol NOT ASPRIN), and reducing fever as necessary. Sore throat is treated with saline gargles or anesthetic troches.
29
complications of mono
airway obstruction (eg, stridor, difficult breathing) from swollen lymph nodes around the neck and severe abdominal pain (splenic rupture).
30
pyrloric stenosis manesitifatations
olive-shaped mass may be palpated in the epigastric area just to the right of the umbilicus. --Emesis is nonbilious (formula in/formula out) and leads to progressive dehydration. --Infants will be hungry constantly despite regular feedings.
31

fifth disease "slapped"
viral ilnnes by hpv
mainly in school age
-
40
fifth disease charactersitic
red rash on the cheeks that gives the appearance of having been slapped. The rash spreads to the extremities and a maculopapular rash develops, which then progresses from the proximal to distal surfaces.
41
fifth diases recover/ treatment
within 7-10 days.
| -malaise and joint pain that are typically well controlled with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen.
42
fifth disase and inefectious period
- Once these children develop symptoms (eg, rash, joint pains), they are no longer infectious.
- Children with fifth disease are communicable only prior to onset of symptoms (eg, rash, joint pains).
43
fifth disease spread through
dropplet but isolation is not required
44
lead positing from
igestion
lead exposure
wall toys glazes (pottery)
-water from lead pipes, or by inhalation of contaminated dust or soil found around older homes.
45
elevated blood levels impair
neural, blood, and renal development.
46
blood lead screening test is recommended what age
between ages 1 and 2, or up to age 6 i
47
what lead level
Clients with elevated BLLs (≥5 mcg/dL [0.24 µmol/L]) require follow-up blood work to ensure that levels decrease
48
treatement for high lead levle
Chelation therapy
49
lead teaching
Pediatric and pregnant clients should not live in homes being renovated until the work is complete. ---Handwashing, especially before eating, is important to remove lead residue
-Taps should be flushed for several minutes to clear out contaminated water before use.
Hard surfaces should be wet-dusted or mopped at least weekly. NOT VACC
= Hot tap water dissolves lead from older pipes; therefore, cold water should be used
50
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)
is instability/ dislocation of the hip joint that may be present at birth- the first few years of life. Nonsurgical treatment methods, such as a harness or cast, are most successful when initiated during the first 6 months of life. surgery is frequently required.
51
pavlik harness
most ocmmon tool to treat dysplasia
52
using palik harness how to
slightly flexed and abducted position
| - worn for about 3-5 months
53
caring for pavik harness
Regularly assess skin for redness or breakdown under the straps
- -Dress the child in a shirt and knee socks under the harness to protect the skin (Option 2)
- -Avoid lotions and powders
- -Lightly massage the skin under the straps every day to promote circulation (Option 3)
- -Only apply 1 diaper at a time as wearing ≥2 diapers (previous treatment practice) increases risk of incorrect hip placement
- -Apply diapers underneath the straps
54

55
FLACC and how to know if child in pain
Facial grimacing
Leg movement, tension, or bending up toward the chest
Activity, including squirming, arching, jerking
Crying or moaning
Difficulty consoling or comforting the child`
56
Splenic sequestration crisis
occurs when a large number of "sickled" cells get trapped in the spleen, causing splenomegaly.
LIFE THEREANTING AND CAN LEAD TO HYPOVOLVEMIA(HYPOTENSIVE) SHOCK
57
classic assessment of splenic sqeuestration cirsis
rapdily enlarging sleepn
58
normal rbc lilves for and sick cell
120 days
-sickle cell reak apart and die within less than 20 days; therefore, the client always has a shortage of red blood cells (anemia). Due to anemia, clients often report feeling fatigued.
59
complications of sickle
Right arm weakness could indicate new-onset stroke, a common complication of sickle cell disease that needs to be assessed. However, splenic sequestration is immediately life-threatening and a priority.
-) Swelling of hands and feet (dactylitis) is another symptom of this disease due to the sickled red blood cells blocking blood flow to the hands and feet.
60
Splenic sequestration crisis signs
enlarging spleen and hypotension are the characteristic assessment findings.
61
duchenne muscular dystrophy
x linked recessive
| due to lack of a protein called dystrophin needed for muscle stabilizati
62
The Gower sign .
involves the use of one's hands to rise from a squat or from a chair to compensate for proximal muscle weakness
63
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) treatment
no cure
| - Most children are wheelchair bound by adolescence and die by age 20–30 from respiratory failure.
64
duchenne muscular eduation
avoid floor clutter (eg, throw rugs) and prevent falls/injury
- gentle recreation-based exercises and swimming to avoid disuse muscle atrophy and social isolation. --Overexertion such as weight lifting is not recommended due to the risk of muscle injury.
- -Diet should be assessed to ensure adequate fluid, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables to maintain bowel function to reduce the risk for constipation from immobility.
65
what is not related to duchenne muscular
iron def
66
scarlet feve0 complication of r
group A atrep ( (eg, streptococcal pharyngitis),
67
signs of scarlet
red rash. The rash begins on the neck and chest and spreads to the extremities, resembles a bad sunburn, blanches with pressure, and has fine bumps like sandpaper. Additional manifestations of streptococcal pharyngitis (eg, exudative pharyngitis, fever, swollen anterior cervical lymph nodes) are typically present.
68
confiring scarlet fever
- Because the clinical presentation (ie, rash plus sore throat) is characteristic, but not diagnostic, of scarlet fever, the health care provider will prescribe a rapid streptococcal antigen test to confirm symptom etiology
- wabbing the posterior pharynx and tonsils provides test results within minutes. Throat culture may be necessary to verify results.
69
treatment for scarlet
amoxillin
70

Elevated serum ammonia lvl
73
autism specttrum disorder oftene xhibit
sensory processing problems; they may be hyper- or hypo-sensitive to sounds, lights, movement, touch, taste, and smells.
74
env for autism spectrum disorder
calming environment with minimal stimulation should be provided; a private room away from the nurses' station is the best location.
75
facilitate a calming environment for autism
- Using a quiet or monotone voice when speaking to the child
- Using eye contact and gestures carefully
- Moving slowly
- Limiting visual clutter
- Maintaining minimal lighting
- Providing the child with a single object to focus on
76
Myelomeningocele area
risk for infection at this area. A priority nursing intervention is to cover the area with a sterile, moist dressing to decrease the risk of infection until surgical repair can occur.
-should be placed PRONE
77
the amount of iron stored is dependent on the
length of gestation
78
who at risk for less iron
preterm because less time in utero to accumulate iron
| - Preterm infants typically deplete iron stores by age 2-3 months and require additional iron supplementation
79
iron in a good term baby
sufficient iron stores for the first 4-6 months of life. However, infants receiving exclusively breastmilk require iron supplementation (eg, oral iron drops) around age 4 months until food sources of iron (eg, iron-fortified infant cereal) are adequate around age 6 months.
80
menegtitis signs in infants and children less than 2
fever, restlessness, and a high-pitched cry.
81
babinski sign
Babinski reflex can be present up to age 1-2 years and is a normal, expected finding; it does not indicate meningitis.
82
what prpovides earlier assessment for ICP
Fontanel assessment (bulging tontanel and head circumf) provides an earlier indication of increased ICP.. cushing triad is a late sign (brady, resp dep, widened pulse pressure)
83
pupil assemnt in mengitis
Because meningitis clients are sensitive to light (photophobia), frequent assessment of pupillary light response will be uncomfortable. Severely increased ICP may alter pupillary response; however, this is a late complication of hydrocephalus. Fontanel assessment provides an earlier indication of a developing problem.
84
PKU
Individuals with PKU lack the enzyme (phenylalanine hydroxylase) required for converting the amino acid phenylalanine into the amino acid tyrosine. As unconverted phenylalanine accumulates, irreversible neurologic damage can occur.
85
PKU management
low -phenylalanine diet
- Monitoring serum levels of phenylalanine
Including synthetic proteins and special formulas (eg, Lofenalac, Phenyl-Free) in the diet (Option 4)
Eliminating high-phenylalanine foods (eg, meats, eggs, milk) from the diet (Option 2)
Encouraging the consumption of natural foods low in phenylalanine (most fruits and vegetables)
86
PKU normal level
2-6
87
tinea copris aka
ringworm
88
tinea coporis is a
fungal infection on the superficial keratin layers of the skin, hair, and/or nails.
89
tinea copris is spread
highly contagious and spreads via contact ((eg, bathroom floors, gymnasium mats, car seats), personal items, or pets. )
90
managment of tinea copis
hygiene (eg, washing hands after touching infected areas),
- -- limited contact with personal items (eg, hair brush),
- -- treatment with the prescribed shampoos as well as topical and/or oral medications (eg, terbinafine [Lamisil], miconazole).
91
tinea copris treatment
Antifungal cream (terbinafine [Lamisil]) is the preferred treatment and is applied to infected areas twice a day. It may take 1-4 weeks to complete treatment depending on infection severity.
92
who has highet risk of getting autism
genetic
| so sibilings
93
signs on ICP
bulging fontanelles, increasing head circumference, and sunset eyes (or setting-sun sign) (sclera visible above the iris).
94
plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome)
when infent placed in same position (eg, supine) for an extended period of time and the pliable skull molds to the surface (flattens).
95
normal amt of diapers in 24 hours
(6-10 diapers/day or approximately 1 diaper every 4 hours)
96
putting child to sleep with bottle
dental caries - Bottles containing milk or sugary beverages should not be used as bedtime pacifiers.
97
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH risk factors
breech birth, large infant size, and family history.
98
reducing risk of breech
Proper swaddling technique - infants should be swaddled with their hips bent up (flexion) and out (abduction), allowing room for hip movement (Option 3)
Choosing infant carriers or car seats with wide bases - infant seats should allow for proper hip positioning in an abducted manner
Avoiding any positioning device, seat, or carrier that causes hip extension with the knees straight and together
99
precautions for mengitis
continued for 24 hours after initiation of antibiotic therapy.
100
suspected meningits pt should be kept
NPOOOO
- allowing the client to self-position (Options 1 and 4). Due to nuchal rigidity, most clients prefer to lie with the head of the bed slightly raised and without a pillow, or in a side-lying position.
101
fecal incontience means
repeated passage of stool in inappropriate places by children age ≥4 years.
102
fecal incontience most of the time is due to
functional constipation
103
mangemnt of fecal incontinnce/constipation 3 components
Disimpaction followed by prolonged laxative therapy, dietary changes (increased fiber and fluid intake), and behavior modification. Behavioral strategies are used to promote and restore regular toileting habits and to gain the child's cooperation and participation in the treatment program.
104
behavioral intevention for fecal incontinence
- regularly schedule toilet sitting times 5-10 X mins after meals for 10-15 mins
- Provide a quiet activity for the child during toilet sitting, which will help pass the time and make the experience more "enjoyable" (
- Initiate a reward system to boost the child's participation in the treatment program; the reward would be given for effort, NOT FOR SUCESS
--Keep a diary or log of toilet sitting times, stooling, medications, and episodes of soiling to evaluate the success of the treatment
