Study Notes
Leukemia Care
- Administering immunizations is generally avoided in children with leukemia due to immunocompromised status.
- Antipyretics can be administered as needed to manage fever in these patients.
- Methods to prevent infection are critical due to the risk of neutropenia.
- Education on chemotherapy side effects is essential for treatment preparation.
Bowel Conditions
- Hirschsprung's Disease is characterized by the absence of ganglionic innervation in segments of the bowel, leading to bowel obstruction.
Complementary Therapy
- Complementary therapy refers to nontraditional methods used alongside conventional medical treatment.
Pediatric Urine Output
- Expected urine output for a child weighing 44 pounds is approximately 17-20 ounces per day (calculated using age and weight).
Acute Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis Symptoms
- Common symptoms include increased blood pressure and marked periorbital edema, rather than elevated serum calcium or clear urine with painful urination.
Insulin Action Mimicking
- Exercise best mimics the effects of insulin in promoting glucose uptake and utilization by body tissues.
Hemophilia Education
- Statements requiring further teaching include the safety of ibuprofen and aspirin, as they increase bleeding risk in hemophiliacs.
- Normal blood clotting times and the need for subcutaneous injections instead of intramuscular ones are correctly handled.
Burn Assessment Priority
- After assessing airway and respiratory status in a severely burned newborn, starting an IV of Ringer's lactate for fluid resuscitation is the immediate priority.
Decerebrate Posturing
- Decerebrate posturing indicates injury to the midbrain, reflecting severe neurological impairment.
Cerebral Palsy Symptoms
- The hand quivering when reaching for objects suggests intention tremor, common in children with cerebral palsy.
Psychosocial Development Stage
- According to Erikson, school-age children are in the Industry vs. Inferiority stage, where they develop a sense of competence.
Wilms Tumor Management
- Requires further understanding that abdominal palpation post-diagnosis can hinder treatment by risking tumor spread.
Pediculosis Capitis Transmission
- Transmission can occur through wearing hats or using personal items (like shampoo) belonging to an infected individual.
Respiratory Distress Symptoms
- Signs of respiratory distress include retractions, increased respirations, and pallor, signaling a need for immediate medical attention.
Hemophilia A Diagnosis
- The Partial thromboplastin time test is utilized to measure factor VIII levels in suspected cases of hemophilia A.
Coping with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Advise allowing extra time in the morning to accommodate stiffness and fatigue frequently experienced by affected children.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Hallmarks
- Key features of ADHD include impulsivity, excess energy, and inattention, distinguishing it from other behavioral disorders.
