Q-1 a. Define Nephrotic Syndrome.03

This is a disease of the urinary system. Which commonly causes hospitalization in children.
This syndrome has signs and symptoms of more than one condition. Nephrotic syndrome is mainly characterized by severe edema (swelling), hypoalbuminemia, albuminuria, and hyperlipidemia, i.e. hypercholesterolemia.

Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder. In which glomerular permeability increases, which filters proteins present in blood plasma. Due to which the amount of protein increases in the urine and the amount of protein in the blood decreases.

Due to the decrease in the amount of protein in the blood, the fluid in the blood is transferred from the capillaries to the surrounding tissues and cells. Due to which edema i.e. swelling is seen.
Thus, nephrotic syndrome is a very complex and common pediatric problem in children.

b. Write clinical manifestations of Nephrotic Syndrome.

In nephrotic syndrome, this condition progresses slowly or sometimes it is seen in an acute condition. Signs and symptoms are seen according to the severity of the condition.
Swelling is seen around the eyes of the child, i.e. peri-orbital puffiness is seen.
A large increase in weight is seen in the child’s weight in a short period of time.

Edema is seen in all parts of the body, including the legs, scrotum, and hands. This generalized edema is known as anasarca.
When this swollen area is pressed, a pit forms in it, i.e. pitting edema is seen. Due to this swelling, striae are also seen in the skin due to stretching. Due to skin damage, there is also a chance of local infection.

Protein is excreted in the urine, which is called proteinuria, and the amount of protein in the blood decreases, which is called hypoalbuminemia.
In addition, diarrhea, vomiting, and anorexia are seen in the child.
Urine output is less than normal.
The child shows symptoms of anemia.

Liver enlargement and increased blood pressure are also seen.
Problems such as ascites, pleural effusion, respiratory infection, etc. are seen due to hypoalbuminemia.
In some cases, muscle wasting is also seen.

The condition of malnutrition and failure to thrive of the child is also seen.

c. Write the nursing management of Nephrotic Syndrome.Write the nursing management of Nephrotic Syndrome.05

  • In the management of nephrotic syndrome, the child has to be given special bed rest and a high protein diet.
    He is given minimum fluid intake and a special record of input and output is maintained.
  • Special care should be taken during the hospitalization of the child. He and his parents should be informed about the disease condition and all its aspects so that his anxiety can be reduced and his cooperation can also be obtained.
    Regular monitoring of the child’s vital signs is necessary.
  • Prescribed by the doctor Administer the prescribed medicine on time and maintain its recording.
    Pay special attention to the nutritional needs of the child and keep a record of all the diet and fluids given to him.
  • Provide the child with supplementary vitamins and minerals in his food.
    Perform all procedures on the child with aseptic technique and take into account the issues of infection prevention in his care.
    Special care should be taken of the child’s skin and prevent skin breakdown and also prevent bed sores by changing alternative positions.
  • The child’s general condition should be assessed daily, including his weight, vital signs, Alert level etc. If any abnormality is found in this, immediate intervention should be taken.
  • The child’s hygiene should be taken care of and his fingernails should be kept short so that he can be prevented from injuries.
  • Keeping in mind the child’s play and recreational activities, his mind should be diverted by doing activities that can be done on different beds.

a. Define Hydrocephalus. Define Hydrocephalus.03

Hydrocephalus is an abnormality of the nervous system of a child. In which there is an abnormal collection of fluid in the ventricles inside the child’s brain.
This fluid is cerebrospinal fluid, the reason for which is its absorption is not normal and its production is more than normal.

Thus, due to the imbalance of cerebrospinal fluid, its accumulation in the ventricles of the brain is known as hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is also caused by obstruction in the pathway of CSF.

Due to this condition, enlargement of the ventricles of the brain and the head is seen. Due to which the circumference of the head increases and the head appears larger than normal.

b. Write clinical manifestations of Hydrocephalus.

HydroCyclocephalusNa Congenital and acquired.
The symptoms of hydrocephalus depend on its type and severity of the disease.

The common clinical manifestations seen in this condition are as follows.

In it, the enlargement of the head is excessive. Due to this, the frontals are bulging (upward). The cranial sutures remain open, which also have difficulty in closing. Their closure is delayed.
Venes appear on the scalp and the head part appears shiny due to the filling of the fluid.
When the child’s head is percussioned, a cracked pot type resonance is seen. This sign is also known as McVens sign.

The child’s eyes are tilted downward. A large part of the sclera is visible above the cornea. This type of eye is known as sunset eye.
In this condition, intracranial pressure increases. Due to which nausea, vomiting, restlessness, irritability and high pitched cry are seen.

The child also experiences an increase in temperature and blood pressure.
Increased muscle spasticity, ataxia, papilloedema, urinary incontinence and a gradual decrease in mental activity are also seen.

The above clinical manifestations are seen in hydrocephalus. The increase or decrease in symptoms depends on the severity of the disease condition. If the disease condition is more severe, then neurological disturbances are more likely to be seen.

c. Describe the Nursing Management of Hydrocephalus. Write the nursing management of hydrocephalus.05

Continuous monitoring of the intracranial pressure of a child with the condition of hydrocephalus should be done. If any signs or symptoms of ICP increase are seen, then treatment should be started immediately.
Head circumference should be monitored regularly.

The child’s behavior and his cry pattern should be specially monitored. His restlessness level or irritability level should be checked specifically.
The child’s head and body should be supported during the child’s movement so that no damage or injury occurs.
While sleeping, the child’s head should be supported by a sponge so that injury to the head can be prevented and a comfortable position can be maintained and the pressure on the head can be minimized.

If the child has undergone surgery, it is necessary to take care of the shunt area and take steps to prevent infection there.
The position of the shunt and its working condition should be continuously monitored.
The child’s vital signs should be continuously observed.
The child should be given IV fluid as well as nasogastric fluid Maintain and monitor the input and output chart.

Plans should be made to ensure that the child’s nutritional needs are met.
Maintaining the child’s skin integrity is particularly important. Keep changing the position as per the child’s need so that bed sores can be prevented.
Exercises can also be prescribed to the child as per the need.

The anxiety level of the child can be reduced by informing the parents about every procedure and information.
While performing every procedure with the child, aseptic technique can be maintained and infection can be prevented.

Maintain special monitoring of the child’s general condition and also convince the child’s parents for routine care and regular monitoring. If any symptoms of abnormality are seen, immediately contact the hospital or doctor.

Q-2 a. Define Patent Ductus Arteriosus and describe the Nursing management of Patent Ductus Arteriosus. 08

Patent Ductus Arteriosus is a congenital heart defect. This condition occurs when blood vessels called ductus arteriosus connect the pulmonary artery and aorta in the fetal circulation during intrauterine life. But after the birth of the newborn, it normally closes in the first week of life. However, if the condition of Ductus Arteriosus remains patent or open even after birth, that is, if it fails to close, then the condition is called Patent Ductus Arteriosus. This condition of Patent Ductus Arteriosus is usually seen more in premature babies whose weight is less than 1.5 kilograms.

  • It is very important to understand the characteristics and principles of growth and development in children, which are given below.
  • Growth and development is a continuous process. It is unique for every child. Along with this, it also follows the pattern of individual differences.
  • The pattern of growth and development in each child is seen according to his stage. It can be predicted. The stages are similar for all children, but the time to achieve those stages may vary. E.g. Every child learns to sit, learns to speak, but the time to achieve this function is different for all children.
  • Growth is seen in the size and shape of each organ and in its coordination.
  • Growth and development are seen according to these principles: Cephalo-caudal i.e. from head to tail and Proximo-distal i.e. from the midline and center to the periphery.
  • Growth and development are seen according to these principles: Simple to Complex. In which initially mass movement and activity are seen in simple patterns. Over time, it is seen in specific actions and responses i.e. complex tasks.
  • Development is mainly seen due to stimulation. In this, as the child is given stimulation, his development is seen better.
  • Growth and development are interdependent on many factors such as hereditary and environmental.
  • The influence of society is particularly visible on the growth and development of a child. Development is also based on a cultural aspect.
  • In growth and development, physical, mental, social, emotional activity is seen in a positive correlation and all those factors are connected to each other.
  • Growth and development is also seen at times fast, at times slow and at times stable.

b. Describe Therapeutic environment, in Pediatric Ward. Explain the therapeutic environment within a pediatric ward.

Meaning and Importance:

A therapeutic environment is an environment that positively influences the physical, mental, and emotional health of a pediatric patient. It is the primary responsibility of the nursing team to create a safe and comfortable environment for the child in the stressful environment of the hospital. A therapeutic environment provides a gentle foundation for children’s developmental milestones, recovery, and emotional well-being.

1) Physical Safety and Hygiene:

Aseptic technique is essential for infection control in the pediatric ward. Hand hygiene, sterile equipment, and regular disinfection are essential to protect all patients from cross-infection. Floors should be non-slippery and sharp objects should be kept out of reach of children.

2) Pleasant and Stimulating Environment:

Colorful walls, cartoon images, child-sized furniture, and interactive toys in the ward provide relaxation to the patient. This environment reduces hospital anxiety in the child and promotes his development. The lighting should be soft so that a sense of natural peace is felt.

3) Parental Presence:

Parental involvement is a form of psychological reassurance for the child. Allowing the child to stay with the parents helps in increasing security and trust for the child. The presence of parents can help the child accept treatment more easily.

4) Compassionate Nursing Staff:

The empathetic and child-centered behavior of the nursing staff is a fundamental element of a therapeutic environment for the patient. It is necessary to communicate at the patient’s level, check up through play, and act sympathetically.

5) Play Therapy and Educational Activities:

Play therapy reduces the patient’s feelings of tension, fear, and isolation. Cardboard games, puzzles, rangoli, stories, and educational toys keep them engaged. These activities are very useful for cognitive development as well as emotional expression.

6) Noise and Light Control:

A noise-free environment should be maintained as per the wishes of the pediatric patient. Low lights, soft sounds, and adequate rest time should be provided. Unannounced noise disrupts the child’s physical recovery.

7) Privacy and Individualized Care:

Maintaining privacy for each patient is an integral part of the therapeutic environment. Physical, psychological and social support should be provided according to the needs of the individual patient. Bed arrangement should also be based on personal space.

8) Supportive Services:

Multidisciplinary services such as child psychologist, dietitian, counselor, and physiotherapist in the ward enhance the quality of the therapeutic environment. Emotional, educational, and physical support are essential for children.

9) Parental Education
Providing health education to parents, such as about the patient’s condition, medications, home care, and immunizations, so that they can cooperate in the treatment. This relationship builds trust between the nurse and the patient family.

Conclusion:

A therapeutic environment for pediatric patients is essential not only for physical but also for emotional health. A well-organized, loving and child-friendly environment is extremely important for recovery, development and self-confidence in children. Every nurse should adopt a sensitive and responsible approach to create this environment.

c. Write difference between Cyanotic and Acyanotic condition.Write difference between Cyanotic and Acyanotic condition

Difference between Cyanotic and Acyanotic Condition

introduction :
Congenital Heart Defects are mainly of two types: Cyanotic Condition and Acyanotic Condition. Both conditions differ according to the level of blood flow and oxygenation in the cardiac field of the patient. The main difference depends on the amount of oxygen in the patient’s blood and the resulting blue color (cyanosis) seen on the skin.

Cyanotic Condition:

Cyanotic condition is a condition in which deoxygenated blood mixes with pure blood inside the patient’s heart and oxygen-depleted blood reaches various parts of the body. This causes a bluish tinge to the patient’s lips, nails, and skin, which is called cyanosis.

In this condition, Right to Left Shunt is usually seen, in which deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart goes directly to the left side and is pumped through the body.

For example:
Tetralogy of Fallot, Transposition of Great Arteries, Tricuspid Atresia, Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return, etc.

Symptoms:

  • Skin, lips, and nails appear blue (cyanosis)
  • Oxygen saturation is less than 85%
  • Patient tires easily
  • Respiratory rate increases
  • Growth delay is observed

Acyanotic Condition:

In an acyanotic condition, the patient has abnormal blood flow to the heart but there is no direct effect on the oxygenation of the blood. That is, only oxygenated blood flows in the patient’s body and cyanosis is not observed.

In this condition, a Left to Right Shunt is usually seen, in which oxygenated blood from the left side turns to the right side and returns to the pulmonary circulation.

For example:
Atrial Septal Defect, Ventricular Septal Defect, Patent Ductus Arteriosus, Atrioventricular Canal Defect, etc.

Symptoms:

  • No blue discoloration of the skin
  • Oxygen saturation is normal (≥ 95%)
  • Patient has mild respiratory distress
  • Symptoms of pulmonary congestion and heart failure are seen
  • Sometimes a gurgling sound and a throat murmur are heard

The main difference between Cyanotic and Acyanotic Cardiac Conditions is that in Cyanotic, the patient’s body is deficient in oxygenated blood, causing cyanosis, while in Acyanotic, there is a silent disturbance within the heart despite oxygenated blood. Both types of conditions can be serious for pediatric patients and require immediate medical and surgical intervention. As a nurse, it is a very important responsibility to understand this difference and provide proper observation and care to the patient.
