EXAM 3 TOPIC Guide Pediatric Nursing PPT: no questions specifically from a slide, but ALL concepts can be integrated into questions such as atraumatic care, etc. growth and development school-age (6-12 years old) ○ erikson: industry ca i inferiority > - become specific things interested in ○ piaget: preoperational (ends); concrete operational (begins around age 7 ) classification > - understand and characteristics ○ meaningful activities in company of peers ○ physical growth and development more muscle mass , less baby fat growth long > - continued in bones growth regularly spurts- > NOT growing as ○ permanent teeth erupt floss daily - after meals/snacks , brush regular dental checkups and at bedtime , ○ cooperative play ○ school ○ safety keep firearms > - identify locked away , safe areas to play stranger danger safety gear , supervise , wear , smoke detectors , while swimming drugs/alcohol/tobacco sport safety latchkey kids -going home to an empty home ROUTINE AND SAFETY * ○ fears death of parent failing in school bullies losing friends ○ cognitive development > - still analytically cannot critically think or begins to find specific interests in school and out of school popular > - clubs become start collections cooperative play organized sports conservation CANNOT think abstractly ○ stressors bullying making decisions need for approval grades competition adolescent (12-18 years) ○ erikson: identity vs role confusion ○ piaget: formal operational stage (11-adulthood) ○ domains of adolescent development ○ rapidly changing body, great variability ○ puberty → tanner staging ○ change in interview and education ○ emotional well being (emotional development) swings/variations > - mood relationship with parents/family separate from parents > start to - family and and become more involved with peers self/body image > - comparison with peers sexuality experimentation - sexual driven by curiosity self-exploration (masturbation) , importance of peers ~interview with and without parents present ○ safety and risk reduction depression/suicide > - annual psychologic screenings identify depression anxiety to , , suicidal ideations and substance use violence substance abuse discuss > - emphasize the risks effects , short-term of substance use eating disorders injury ~don’t lecture, inquire about their knowledge learns to tell time · able to solve problems · see perspective *For the below body system topics, you will want to know general information given about the system and variations in anatomy/physiology in pediatric patients hematologic Infants - > all bones involved adults - > only flat bones involved ○ hematopoiesis: (early blood cell production) begins around 2 weeks gestation in the embryo yolk sac then around 8 weeks gestation, process moves to the liver and spleen until sometime in 3rd trimester then the bone marrow takes over ○ hemoglobin types Hgb F → fetal hemoglobin * fetus uses until 6 months of age A short life span Hgb A → “adult” hemoglobin Hgb A2 → variant form of Hgb A * smaller amounts ○ present in iron newborns > - maternal stores ↓ iron = ↓ hemoglobin Infants - > breastmilk fortified formula or iron pre-term infant has increased risk for anemia physiologic adolescencee anemia 2-6 months of age = physiologic anemia around #growth spurts 2-4 months start testing for anemia ↑ growth + ↑ blood volume + ↓ maternal iron stores = anemia * menses * poor diet adolescence also increase time of growth = increase risk for anemia #iron supplements may be necessary for babies GI * Cognitive delays with bleeding disorders that prevents oxygen from getting to organs ○ mouth 4-7 months (as 3 months and as late as 10 erupt * teeth early months) as common entry for infectious agents children frequently put things in their mouths by putting objects > -

more ↓ feeding every 500 mL at 2 years 2-4 hours 1500 mL at 16 years ○ intestines hsmall e intestine re NOT functionally mature at birth absorption occurs small bowel loss in infancy can lead to problems with absorption and diarrhea as an adult ○ biliary system - eventually ↓ in size liver relatively large at birth, easily palpated, immature functions until 2 years ○ pancreatic enzymes reach adult levels around 2 years old - helpdigestion with ○ total body fluids disturbances in fluid/electrolyte balance occur more frequently and rapidly in infants and young children fluid requirements change with specific disorders ○ total body fluid by age infants = 70-80% of body weight by age 3 = 65% of body weight by age 15 = 60% of body weight oncology ○ effects tissues vs organs ○ embryonal vs epithelial ○ little known for prevention ○ detection from blood counts or obstruction of the tumor ○ metastasis typically @ diagnosis ○ more responsive to treatment GU ○ infants tubules have less surface area = decreased water absorption more prone to excess fluid volume and dehydration (cannot concentrate urine very well) immature renal system = inability to handle increased protein intake > - cannot concentrate urine well sodium excretion is lower = less able to adapt to sodium loss or excess small bladder capacity UOP 1-2 mL/kg/hour less concentration ○ toddler/preschool control of bladder sphincters does not occur before the age of 2 autonomy > -
