Q

Because children experience falls during their growth years, fractures of long bones are common childhood injuries. Fractures in children tend to be different than in adults because:

A

●Bone in childhood is fairly porous, allowing bones to bend rather than break.
●The periosteum is thick, so the bone may not break all the way through.
●Epiphyseal lines may cushion a blow so that the bone does not break.
●Healing is rapid as a result of overall increased bone growth.

Q

Treatment of Club Foot

Nursing care-

A

●Castings starting shortly after birth
●Weekly manipulation of the foot into aligned position, cast is modeled around the heel while the four foot Is abducted and the knee is flexed to a 90 degree angle

●Denis Browne splint – has to leave it on for 23 hours a day, should take it off for an hour at a time at least once a day.
●DB may be recasted 7 times with in three years to fix the club foot -shoes are attached to a metal bar to maintain position

Nursing care- encourage breastfeed (good nutrition)
Be sure proper position with splint - cross cradle hold - mom holds babies head next to one arm and their feet to the other arm

Hold in football position where head is next to breasts and feet are touched behind mom or to the side of mom

Teach mom about skin breakdown, sensation, movement

Frequent assessments when it comes off at least an hour every day

●Curves greater than 40 degrees

●Severe cases greater than 80 degrees

A

Look at child through out growth and make sure are growing

Well being vs growth determines surgery or not

●Curve less than 20 degrees requires no immediate interventions, just close monitoring.
●Curves between 20-40 degrees require a back brace and possibly surgery.
●Provide emotional support, especially regarding low self-esteem and concerns about body image

●Curves greater than 40 degrees may require surgery with spinal fusion

●Severe cases greater than 80 degrees may require halo traction

34 min - first video slide 28

Genetic hematological condition transported via an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance

92
Q

Sickle cell s/s

A

●Large amount of hemoglobin S and
decrease in O2 levels, abnormal hemoglobins clump together within the cell and change the shape from donut-like to a sickled shape resulting in tissue ischemia and fragility of the sickled cell
●If there are occlusions because RBCs cannot circulate – ischemia, infarcts and possible tissue death
●Infants under 6 months of age are often asymptomatic

Weakness
Pallor
Fatigue
Tissue hypoxia - due to RBC breakdown

93
Q

●Abnormal vascular coagulation process Secondary to underlying disease

Can result from any bacterial infection that leads to sepsis or any traumatic injury
