Study Notes
Diabetes Management
- Oral glucose tolerance test indicates plasma glucose > 200, leading to symptoms like polyuria.
- Symptoms include polydipsia, polyphagia, weight loss, enuresis, and fatigue.
- Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is often present at diagnosis.
- Random plasma glucose > 200 requires regular monitoring.
- Children as young as 6-8 years can assist in managing blood glucose (BG) and keeping records.
- Adolescents may struggle with treatment adherence due to peer influences.
- Self-management is the ultimate goal; collaboration with dietitians, educators, and social workers is encouraged.
- Illness prompts BG and urine ketone monitoring every 3 hours; notify healthcare provider for vomiting or BG > 240 mg/dl.
Infant Feeding Readiness
- Infants show readiness with interest in solid foods and loss of extrusion reflex.
- Signs of readiness include better head control and anticipation of feeding.
- Begin with small servings, gradually increasing as swallowing improves.
- Supervise feeding; avoid hot dogs, hard veggies, candies, and peanut chunks.
Nutritional Needs by Age Group
- Toddlers: 3 meals and 2 snacks daily; serving size is 1 tbsp per year of age; 24-48 oz milk/day (low-fat after age 2).
- Preschoolers: Develop preferences and may be picky; encourage sampling of diverse foods.
- School-Age Children: Nutritional needs increase, moderate to avoid unhealthy choices; avoid using food as a reward.
- Adolescents: Require over 2000 calories daily, more if active; potential for unhealthy eating patterns.
Food Allergies and Reactions
- Food allergies are immunologic reactions, most commonly to peanuts, milk, and shellfish.
- Diagnosed through double-blind challenges or skin prick tests; avoid allergenic foods.
- Food intolerance, not IgE-mediated, causes symptoms like indigestion and flatulence.
- Allergy symptoms can include anaphylaxis and swelling of lips/mouth; rapid intervention is critical.
- Prevention strategies: exclusive breastfeeding for 4-6 months followed by gradual introduction of high-allergy foods.
Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition
- Enteral therapy utilizes feeding tubes for patients with swallowing issues or recovery needs.
- Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) delivers intravenous nutrition, requiring special equipment and administration.
- TPN is indicated for congenital GI malformations, brain injuries, or severe burns.
Vomiting Management
- Vomiting is common and usually self-limiting; observe for bilious vomiting indicating obstruction.
- Treatment includes identifying the cause, rehydration via oral or IV fluids, and anti-emetic medication.
- Gradually return to normal diet; monitor for electrolyte imbalances post-vomiting.
Hirschsprung Disease
- Characterized by absent ganglion cells in the bowel wall leading to obstruction; more common in males.
- Symptoms include bilious vomiting and failure to pass meconium within 24-48 hours.
- Diagnosis confirmed via abdominal X-ray and rectal biopsy; treatment involves surgical removal of the aganglionic segment.
Cleft Lip and Palate
- Caused by improper fusion of the maxillary process; cleft lip repair usually performed at 2-3 months post-birth.
- Palate repair is ideally done before 12 months; adequate folate may aid prevention.
- Post-surgical care may require the use of soft restraints to protect the incision.
Esophageal Atresia and Tracheoesophageal Fistula
- Condition involves failure of esophagus to form as a continuous structure or separate from the trachea.
- Diagnosis may occur prenatally; symptoms include excessive salivation and choking during feeding.
- Treatment includes surgical intervention to connect the esophagus and repair any fistula, with possible G-tube placement until recovery.
