PEDIATRIC NURSING I. Growth & Development *Growth - Increase in physical size of a structure or whole. - Quantitative change. Two parameters of Growth 1.

Weight- Most sensitive measure of growth, especially low birth rate. 6 months-----BW doubles 12 months----BW triples 2-2 ½ yrs-----BW quadrupled

2. Height - Increase by 1”/mo during 1st 6 months, 7-12 months by 1 ½ inch. - Average increase in height - 1st year = 50% Stoppage of ht coincide with eruption of wisdom tooth. *Development - Increase skills or capability to function - Qualitative How to measure development: 1. Observe child doing specific task. 2. Role description of child’s progress 3. DDST- Denver development screening test except mental, its I.Q. Test MMDST (Phil) Metro Manila Developmental Screening Test. 4 Main Rated Categories of DDST 1. Language communication 2. Personal social-interaction 3. Fine motor adapting- prehensile ability to use hand movement 4. Gross motor skills- large body movement *Maturation- same with development “readiness” *Cognitive Development –ability to learn and understand from experience, to acquire and retain knowledge, to respond to a new situation and to solve problems. *Learning---change of behavior IQ Test- test to determine cognitive development Formula: Mental age x 100 = IQ Chronological age

* Average IQ – 90-100 * Gifted child- > 130 IQ

II. Basic Divisions of Life 1.

Prenatal stage from conception- birth

2.

Period of Infancy a. Neonate- 1st 28 days or 1st 4 weeks of life b. Formal infancy- 29 day – 1 year

3.

Early Childhood a. Toddler – 1-3 yrs b. Pre school 4-6 years

4.

Middle Childhood a. School age- 7 – 12 yrs

5.

Late Childhood a. Pre adolescent 11 – 13 yrs b. Adolescent 12 - 18 – 21

III. Principles of G & D 1. G&D is a continuous process that begins from conception- ends in death--“ Womb to Tomb principle” 2. Not all parts of the body grow at the same time or at same rate.-------------“Asynchronous Growth principle” Patterns of G&D: a. b.

Renal, GIT, musculoskeletal, circulatory----grows rapidly during childhood Neuromuscular tissue (CNS, brain, S. cord)---grow rapidly 1-2 years of life  Brain achieved its adult proportion by 5 years.  1-2 y/o- very important yrs---if with severe malnutrition--mild mental retardation

c. Lymphatic system- lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils---grows rapidly- infancy and childhood -protection against infection  tonsil adult proportion by 5 years d. Reproductive system- grows rapidly at puberty Rates of G&D: a. Fetal and Infancy – period of most rapid G&D -----*prone to develop anemia b. Adolescent- period of rapid G&D Toddler- slow growth period c. Toddler and preschool- alternating rapid and slow d. School age- slower growth 3. Each child is unique A. Heredity:

2 Primary Factors Affecting G&D : R – race F- born less in length than M by 1 inch. I – intelligence F- born less in wt. than M by 1 lb. S – sex N - nationality

B. Environment: Q – quality of nutrition S – socio eco. status H – health O – ordinal position in family P – parent child relationship

Eldest- ability in comm. & social skills youngest- more toilet trained

4. G&D occurs in a regular direction reflecting a definitive & predictable patterns or trends. A. Directional Trends- occur in a regular direction reflecting the development of neuromuscular function. These apply to physical, mental, social and emotional development and includes. 1. Cephalo-caudal--- “head to toe”  Occurs along body’s long axis in w/c control over head, mouth & eye movements & precedes control over upper body torso and legs. 2. Proximo- distal---- “Centro distal”  From center of body to extremities. 3. Symmetrical----side of body develop on same direction at same time at same rate. 4. Mass Specific “Differentiation” - Learns simple operations before complex function, from broad general pattern of behavior to a refined pattern. B. Sequential- involves a predictable sequence of G&D to w/c the child normally passes. 1. Locomotion- creep, crawls, sit then stand. 2. Socio & Language skills- solitary games, parallel games C. Secular- worldwide trend of maturing earlier & growing larger as compared to succeeding generations. 5.Behavior--most compressive indicator of developmental status. 6. Universal language of child- play 7. Great deal of skill and behavior is learned by practice. Practice makes perfect. 9. Neonatal reflexes must be lost 1st before dev’t can proceed. -Plantar reflex shld. disappear before baby can walk

-Moro reflex shld. disappear before baby can roll *Persistent primitive infantile reflexes- case of cerebral palsy

IV. Theories of G&D Developmental Tasks- different from chronological age  skill or growth responsibility arising at a particular time in the individual’s life.  The successful achievement of w/c will provide a foundation for the accomplishments of future tasks. Theorists 1. SIGMUND FREUD: (1856-1939) Austrian neurologists----- Founder of Psychoanalysis - offered personality development, Psychosexual theory *Phases of Psychosexual Theory* a.) Oral Phase------------- 0-18 months - Mouth: site of gratification -Activity of infant- biting, sucking crying. -Why do babies suck?- enjoyment & release of tension. -Provide oral stimulation even if baby on NPO. -Pacifier. -Never discourage thumb sucking. b.) Anal Phase------------- 18 months-3 years -Anus: site of gratification -Activity- elimination, retention or defecation of feces must take place - Principle of holding on or letting go. -Mother wins or child wins -Child wins- stubborn, hardheaded anti social. (anak pupu na, child holds pupu, child wins) -Mother wins- obedient, kind, perfectionist, meticulous--------- OC-anal phase -Help child achieve bowel & bladder control even if child is hospitalized. c.) Phallic Phase----------- 3-6 years - Genitals: site of gratification - Activity- may show exhibitionism - Increase knowledge of a sexes - Accept child fondling his/her own genitalia as normal exploration - Answer Childs question directly. - Right age to introduce sexuality – preschool d.) Latent Phase---------- 7-12 years -Period of suppression- no obvious development. -Childs libido or energy is diverted to more concrete type of thinking -Helps child achieve (+) experience, ready to face conflict of adolescence e.) Genital Phase--------- 12-18 years -Genitals: site of gratification -Achieve sexual maturity -Learns to establish relationships with opposite sex. -Give an opportunity to relate to opposite sex. 2. ERIC ERICKSON- Psychoanalysis theory -stresses important of culture & society to the development of ones personality -environment , culture *Stages of Psychosocial Theory*

a.) Trust vs. Mistrust – 0-18 months. -foundations of all psychosocial task -to give & receive is the psychosocial theme -know to develop trust baby 1. Satisfy needs on time - breastfeed 2. Care must be consistent & adequate

-both parents- 1st 1 year of life 3. Give an experience that will add to security- touch, eye to eye contact, soft music. b.) Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt---- 18-3 years - Independence /self gov’t - Develop autonomy on toddler ---1. Give an opportunity of decision making, offer choices. 2. Encourage to make decision rather than judge. 3. Set limits c. Initiative vs. Guilt------------------------ 4-6 years -Learns how to do basic things -Let explore new places & events -activity recommended- modeling clay, finger painting--enhance imagination & creativity & facilitate fine motor dev’t d. Industry vs. Inferiority------------------- 7-12 yrs -Child learns how to do things well -Give short assignments & projects e. Identity vs. Role Confusion or Diffusion 12-18 yrs -Learns who he/she is, what kind of person he/ she will become by adjusting to new body image and seeking emancipation from parents -Freedom from parents. f. Intimacy vs. Isolation-----------------------18-25 yrs. Up to 30 y/o -looking for a lifetime partner and career focus g. Generatively vs. Stagnation------------ 30-45 y/o h. Ego Integrity vs. Despair---------------45-65 & above 3. JEAN PIAGET- Swiss psychologists , pioneer work on dev.t of intelligence in children -develop reasoning power *Stages Of Cognitive Development* A. Sensory Motor------ 0-2 y/o -“Practical Intelligence”- words & symbols not yet available baby communicates thru senses & reflexes. Schema (Subdivision) 1. Neonate Reflex 2. Primary Circular Reaction

Age 1 month 1-4 months

3. Secondary Circular Reaction

4-8 months

4. Coordination of Secondary Reaction

8-12 months

5. Tertiary Circular Reaction

12-18 months (1-1 1/2yrs.)

6. Invention of new means thu mental combination---“Symbolic Representation”

18-24 months

Behavior All reflexes -Activity related to body -Repetition of behavior (ex. thumb sucking) -Activity not related to body -Discover object & person’s permanence -Memory traces present -Anticipate familiar events. -Exhibit goal directed behavior of permanence & separateness (search of lost toy, knows mom, throw & retrieve) -Use trial & error to discover places & events -“ invention of new means” -capable of space & time perception (hits fork, spoon on table or drops fork) -Transitional phase to the pre operational thought process.

B. Preoperational Thought---- 2-7 y/o Schema 1. Preconceptual

Age 2-4 yrs

2. Initiative

4-7 yrs

Created by Niňa E. Tubio

Behavior -Thinking basically complete literal & static -Egocentric- unable to view others viewpoint -Concept of dying is only now -Concept of distance is only as far as they can see. -Concept of Animism: inanimate object is alive (-) reversibility concept- in every action there’s an opposite reaction or cause & effect Beginning of Causation

4

C. Concrete Operational Thought------ 7-12 years 1. Can find solution to everyday problems with systematic reasoning. 2. *Aware concept of reversibility- cause & effect 3. Concept of Conservation – constancy despite of transformation. 4. Activity recommended- collecting & classifying: stamps, stationeries, dolls, rubber band markers. D. Formal Operational Thought--------- 12 and up. 1. Cognition achieved its final form 2. Can deal with past present & future 3. Have abstract & mature thoughts & formal reasoning. 4. Can find solutions to hypothetical problems with scientific reasoning. 5. Activity: talk time:-- will sort out opinions & current events. 4. KOHLBERG (1984) - recognized the theory of moral dev’t as considered to closely approximate cognitive stages of dev’t *Stages of Moral Development* A. Infancy – “Amoral, Pre-religious or pre-moral stage Age 1. Pre-conventional 2-3 yrs 4-7

Stage Level 1 1

Description -*Punishment/ obedience oriented (heteronymous morality) child does right cause a parent tells him or her to & to avoid punishment -Individualism. Instrumental purpose & exchange.

Initiation and maintenance of respiration Establishment of extra uterine circulation Control of body temp Establishment of waste elimination Intake of adequate nourishment Prevention of infection Establishment of an infant-parent relationship Dev’t care that balances rest & stimulation or mental dev’t

1.) Initiation and Maintenance of Respiration 2nd stage of labor- initial airway -initiation of a /w is a crucial adjustment -most neonatal deaths w/n 24 h caused by inability to initiate a/w -lung function begins after birth only How to initiate a/w : a. Remove secretions bulb syringe b. Catheter Suctioning 1.) Place head to side to facilitate drainage of secretions 2.) Suction mouth 1st before nose -neonates are nasal breathers 3.) Period of time 5-10 sec suctioning, gentle and quick Prolonged & deep suctioning can lead to : Hypoxia Laryngospasm, Bradycardia d/t stimulation of vagal nerve--near esophagus & anus 4.) Evaluate for patency -cover nostril & baby struggles there’s a need for additional suctioning c. If not effective, requires effective laryngoscopy to open a/w. After deep suctioning an endotracheal tube can be inserted and oxygen can be administered by (+) pressure bag and mask with 100% oxygen at 40-60b/m. Nsg alert In O2 Administration: 1. No smoking to prevent combustion 2. Always humidify to prevent drying of mucosa 3. Over dosage of oxygen can lead to scarring of retina leading to blindness (Retro Lentalfibrolasia or Retinopathy of Prematurity) ROP---prone to:SGA,LBW,Preterm 4. When meconium stained (greenish) never administer oxygen with pressure (O2 pressure will push mecomium inside)------Atelectasis 2.) Establishing Extra-Uterine Circulation *Circulation is initiated by lung expansion or pulmo ventilation and completed by cutting of cord. FETO PLACENTAL CIRCULATION * Placenta(simple diffusion) –oxygenated blood is carried by the umbilical vein- passes liver-ductus venousus- IVCRT atrium 70% blood is shunted to foramen ovale- LT atrium mitral valve – LT ventricle- aorta-lower extremities.

-Remaining 30%- tricuspid valve- RT ventricle- pulmonary arteries- lungs (for nutrition)--vasoconstriction of lungs pushes blood to ductus arteriousus to aorta to supply upper extremities. *3 SHUNTS* SHUNTS-shortcuts 1. Ductus Venosus- -shunts from liver to IVF (umbilical vein to inferior vena cava) 2. Foramen Ovale- shunts bet 2 atrias 3. Ductus Arteriosus- from pulmonary artery to aorta Decrease PO2, increase PCO2 acidosis

Will cause 1st breath /cry of baby

Decrease Pulmo Artery Pressure

Increase PO2

1. Closure of Ductus Arteriosus

Decrease blood flow

2. Closure of Ductus Venosus & AVA

Increase pressure to Left side of heart

3. Closure of Foramen Ovale

What will sustain 1st breath- decreased artery pressure What will initiate lung circulation-lung expansion What will complete circulation- cutting of cord 4.) 2 Ways to facilitate closure of Foramen Ovale a.) Tangential Footstep- slap foot of baby----slap---cry---lung expansion -never stimulate baby to cry if secretions not fully drained to prevent aspiration -check characteristic of cry *Normal cry- strong, vigorous and lusty cry *Normal cry of baby boy: lower cri-du-chat syndrome-chromosomal obliteration cat like cry (meow) b.) Proper position : Right side lying pos. -will increase pressure on left and foramen ovale will close *Foramen Ovale and Ductus arteriosus will begin to close within 24h *Universal Cry of a Baby: “O-ha” Obliteration-complete closure Structure Appropriate Time of Structure Remaining Obliteration Foramen Ovale Begins 24 hrs, 1yr Fossa Ovalis Ductus Begins 24 hrs., 1 month Ligamentum Arteriosum Arteriosus Ductus Venosus 2 months Ligamentum venosum 1.) Lateral umbilical Ligament Umbilical artery 2-3 months 2.) Interior iliac artery Umbilical vein 2-3 months Ligamentum Teres ( round ligament of liver)

*Position of infant immediately after birth: NSD-Trendelenberg/ T position for drainage contraindication of Trendelenberg position - increase ICP CS- Supine or crib level position

Signs of Increased ICP 1. Abnormally large head 2. Bulging and tense fontanel Hypertension 3. BP and widening pulse pressure Bradycardia Cushing’s Triad of ICP 4. RR & PR Tachypnea 5. Projective Vomiting- sure sign of cerebral irritation 6. High deviation – Diplopia – sign of ICP older child 4-6 months- normal eye deviation if >6 months- lazy eyes 7.) High pitch shrill cry- late sign of ICP 3. Control of Body Temperature : Temp Regulation -

*Goal in temp regulation is to maintain it not less than 97.7% F (36.5 C) Maintenance of temp is crucial on preterm and SGA (small for gestational age) - babies prone to hypothermia or cold stress

A. Factors Leading to Dev’t of HYPOTHERMIA 1.

2. 3. 4.

Preterms are born PoiKilothermic- cold blooded  Babies easily adapt to temp of environment d/t immaturity of thermo regulating system of body. >Hypothalamus Inadequate SQ tissue fats Baby is not capable of shivering *Earliest sign of hypothermia- increase in RR Babies are born wet PROCESS OF HEAT LOSS 1. Evaporation------body to air (TSB) 2. Conduction------body to cold solid object (cold compress) 3. Convection------body to cooler surrounding air (aircon) 4. Radiation-------- body to cold object not in contact with body

Effects of Hypothermia ( Cold stress) 1.) Hypoglycemia- 45-55 mg/dl normal ( 50- borderline) d/t utilization of glucose 2.) Metabolic acidosis- catabolism of brown fats (best insulator of newborns body) will form ketones ( found in chest/back) 3.) High risk for kernicterus- bilirubin in brain leading to cerebral palsy 4.) Additional fatigue to allergy stressful heart To Prevent Hypothermia: 1. Dry and wrap baby 2. Mechanical pressure – radiant warmer (incubator) *Pre-heat first isolette (or square acrylic sided incubator) 3. Prevent an necessary exposure – cover baby 4. Cover baby with tin foil or plastic 5. Embrace the baby- kangaroo care (skin to skin contact) 4. Establish Adequate Nutritional Intake Physiology Breast Milk Production: As you deliver baby, E &

*CS- breastfeeding after 4 hours *NSD- breastfeeding asap *Advantages of Breastfeeding *Store milk- plastic storage container 1. Economical >good for 6 mon. from freezer/ at rm. temp. don’t heat 2. Always available 3. Promotes Bonding 4. Breastfed babies have higher IQ than bottle fed babies. 5. It facilitates rapid involution 6. Decrease incidence of breast cancer. 7. Contents of BREAST MILK: a. Antibodies- IgA b. Lactobacillius bifidus- interferes w/ attack of pathogenic bacteria in GIT c. Has macrophages d. Lactoferrin e. Lyzozymes f. Interferons Disadvantages: 1. Possibility of transfer HEP B, HIV ( 30%-39%), cytomegalovirus virus. 2. No iron-----prone to IDA 3. Father can’t feed & bond as well 3 Stages of Breastmilk: 1. Colostrum- 2-4 days post-delivery content: fats, IgA, CHO, CHON, minerals, fat soluble minerals 2. Transitional milk- 4 – 14 days content: lactose, water soluble vit., minerals 3. Mature milk- 14 & up (3 L) content: fats (linoleic acid) – resp for devt of brain & integrity of skin CHO- lactose – easily digested, baby not constipated. - responsible of sour milk smelling odor of stool & astringent property of milk *Lactose Intolerance- deficiency of enzyme LACTASE that digests LACTOSE —manifestation = Excessive Crying ------substitute-----soy milk *Decrease CHON- lactalbumin Contents of Cows milk: fats CHON – casein- has curd that’s hard to digest Minerals–traumatic effect on kidneys of babies. Can trigger stone formation. Phosphorus CHO 5. Prevention of Infection: Health Teachings: 1. Proper hygiene- proper hand washing Care of breast - cotton balls with lukewarm water (inner to outer) Caked colostrums- dry milk on breast 2. Best position in breastfeeding – upright sitting -avoid tension!—if w/ tension breast will not properly empty 3. Stimulate & evaluate feeding reflexes a.) Rooting reflex- by touching the side of lips/cheeks then baby will turn to stimulus. Disappear by 6 weeks- by 6 weeks baby can focus. Reflex will be gone - Purpose rooting- to look for food. b.) Sucking – when you touch middle of lips then baby will suck - Disappears by 6 months - When not stimulated sucking will stop. c.) Swallowing- when food touches posterior of tongue then it will be automatically swallowed d.) Extrusion/ Protrusion reflex -when food touches anterior portion of tongue then food will be extruded. Purpose: to prevent from poisoning

Disappear by 4 months & baby can already spit out by 4 months. Criteria Effective Sucking: a.) Baby’s mouth is hiked up to areola b.) Mom experiences after pain. c.) Other nipple is also flowing with milk. To prevent from crack nipples & initiate proper production of oxytocin. - begin 2-3 min at per breast ( 5 – 7 min other authors) to initiate production of oxytocin - increase 1 min/ day – until reaching 10 mins per breast or 20 mins/ feeding. For proper emptying & continuous milk production / feeding -feed baby on last breast that you feed her with, alternately ( if not emptied - mastitis) Problems Experienced in Breastfeeding : 1st day post-partum: Breast soft & tender 3RD day changes in breast post partum: a.)Engorged- feeling of fullness & tension in breast. - sometimes accompanied by fever known as MILK FEVER-continue BF Mgt: Warm compress- for breastfeeding mom Cold compress – for bottle feeding & wear supportive bra. *When is involution of breast? - 4 weeks b.) Sore nipple – cracked with painful nipple Mgt: Exposure to air – remove bra & wear dress, if not, expose to 20 Watt bulb (12-18 inches away) avoid wearing plastic liner bra - will create moisture, cotton only----continue BF c.) Mastitis- inflammation of breast : staphylococcus aureus (common) Factors: 1. Improper breast emptying 2. Unhealthy sexual practices -contraindicated for breast feeding - manually express inflamed breast----- feed on unaffected breast - give antibiotics – can still feed on unaffected breast Contra Indications in Breast Feeding: a.

33

- Changes in the long arm of the X chromosome - Most common cause of inherited mental retardation in males - A fragile area on the X chromosome (called FMR1) has repeats in the genetic code. The more repeats, the more likely there is to be a problem. Boys and girls can both be affected, but because boys have only one X chromosome, a single fragile X is likely to affect them more severely. Sx:

Same with other chromosomal abnormalities

3. TRANSLOCATION ABNORMALITIES - Abnormalities in chromosome structure follow a chromosome break & during the repair process, the reunion of the wrong segments of the chromosome. - Involves two nonhomologous chromosomes (e.g., chromosome 2 and chromosome 6).

1. Move forward to the edge of the chair with the strong leg slightly under the seat 2. Place both crutches in the hand on the side of the affected extremity 3. Push down on the hand piece while raising the body to a standing position To Go Down Stairs: 1. Walk forward as far as possible on the step 2. Advance crutches to the lower step. The weaker leg is advanced first and then the stronger extremity shares the work of raising and lowering the body weight with the patient’s arms. To Go Up Stairs: 1. Advance the stronger leg first up to the next step. 2. Then advance the crutches and the weaker extremity. (Strong leg goes up first and comes down last.) A memory device for the patients is “up with the good, down with the bad.”
