Q-2
🔸a. Define growth and development. Explain the various factors influencing on growth and development. 08
Growth means physical maturation in which various organs of the body increase in size and shape. Which is seen due to cell multiplication and increase in intracellular substance. Growth changes can be measured in centimeters and kilograms.
development
Development is the process by which the body matures functionally and physiologically. Development increases skill and functioning capacity. In which psychological, emotional and social changes take place. Measuring development is difficult but it can be measured.
Factors affecting growth and development
Some factors that promote or inhibit the process of growth. Which has two factors. Environmental Factors Hereditary factor
(1) Hereditary factor
Genetic factor is an important factor. Which affects the growth and development of the child. Which affects height, body structure, skin color, eyes, and hair.
which depends on the genes of the parents. If the height of the parents is high, then the height of the child is also high, if the parents are highly intelligent, then the child will also be highly intelligent, some factors that affect the child.
Some genetic diseases that affect the growth and development of the child like thalassemia, hemophilia.
So the child has chromosomal abnormality along with that disease including Down.
Apart from this, gender also affects the growth and development of the child. While male babies are heavier and longer than female babies, girls mature earlier than boys. But height and weight are less in comparison to Bois.
Even in race and nationality, different racials have different time growth and development and their physical characteristics are different according to the national group.
(2) Environmental factors
Prenatal factors
The intrauterine environment affects fetal growth and development
Maternal Mal Nutrition
If the mother does not take a proper diet during pregnancy and if anemia is present, intrauterine growth retardation, low birth-weight, preterm baby and disturbances in its growth and development occur in later life.
Maternal infection
Some intrauterine infections such as HIV, hepatitis are transmitted to the fetus through the placenta and affect its growth and development. Due to which congenital anomalies and congenital infections are seen.
Maternal substance abuse
Some teratogenic drugs cause congenital malformation when taken during pregnancy and smoking, tobacco, alcohol also affect growth and development.
Maternal Illness
Conditions that affect fetal growth include hypertension, anemia, heart disease, hypothyroidism, diabetes, chronic renal failure, hyperpyrexia, etc. Iodine deficiency in the mother can cause mental retardation in the baby.
Miscellaneous
Prenatal conditions affect the growth of the fetus. In which uterine malformation, malposition of the fetus, bicornuate uterus, oligo hydro amnios, poly hydrominus etc affect growth and development.
Postnatal Environmental Factors
Growth pattern
The growth pattern is according to the size of the child at birth. If the baby’s birth weight is low, there may be complications going forward.
Nutrition
Nutrition is very important for the growth and development of the child. It should be quality and quantitative nutrition. Which should contain protein, carbohydrate, vitamins, fat and minerals in sufficient quantity which helps in the growth and development of the child.

Climate and season.
Climate and season affect growth. Weight gain occurs in summer. The height increases in the spring season as compared to the rainy season.
Play and exercise
Physiological activity increases through play and exercise and muscular development takes place as well as physiological, social, moral, intellectual development and health improves due to physical exercise.
Intelligence
Which affects mental and social development. If the child has high intelligence, he will get adjusted in the environment. If there is low intelligence, it cannot be adjusted.
Hormonal influence
Hormones greatly affect the growth and development of a child. Problems are seen in growth and development due to imbalance in it.

Apart from this, the special area of child health is being focused on due to development in medical and surgical branches. The following trends and practices are being observed in pediatric child health care.
Currently pediatric care is provided by pediatricians and trained registered nurses. A scientific treatment approach is maintained in care from infancy to adolescence period.
Special vaccines are administered for disease prevention. Regular assessment of the child’s growth and development is done.
Emphasis is placed on preventive services and health promotion rather than curative care. Advancements in technology and science are seen in the medical field. So that high quality care can be provided.
Evidence-based practice of children’s karma is observed. Institutional care is more emphasized than home care for any type of care for children. This institute i.e. hospital which has been developed through modernization with child friendly changes.
Family-centered care is provided through the support of parents and family members under the supervision of health care members at each care of the child. A child is not separated from his parents and family members even during illness.
Rooming in means keeping the child with the mother at most and moving forward with the mother in every care is being implemented.
Visiting hours have been increased and flexible hours have been kept during hospitalization of children.
There are support groups for parents, which help reduce the anxiety of parents. And the play and recreational needs of children are taken into consideration.
In the care of children, subspecialties of pediatric services such as pediatric neurology, cardiology, nephrology etc. have developed.
Cost containment means best care is provided at low cost and duplication of nursing care is prevented.
In preventive care, there are efforts to improve the health of the child at low cost and protect against diseases.
In Continuum of Care, care is provided continuously. Without any interference, if the child is hospitalized due to an acute disease, after giving treatment in the hospital for a few days, the next treatment is given to the child outdoors. Continuity of the drug is thus maintained.
Color coded management including green classification = child not requiring medicine but requiring advanced home care. PINK CLASSIFICATION = Child needs care provided as a patient. Yellow Classification=Child needs specific treatment at home.

There is a supervisor i.e. head sevika for the supervision of these Anganwadi workers. Which is given some special training. who supervises all activities in coordination with the Project Officer of the ICDS programme.
Due to this program, the amount of mal nutrition is low. Immunization coverage is high. Also there is a reduction in mortality and morbidity rates in children.
🔸3.Advantages of breast feeding
Breastfeeding develops a psychological bond between mother and baby.
Human milk is available for the baby only as per the body temperature requirement.
Milk is fresh and sterile and free from contamination directly into the baby’s mouth.
Human milk is ideal if it is readily available.
Breast milk is a safe and protective food. There is perfect food for infants.
Meets the total nutrient requirement of the baby for the first six months.
It is very important for baby’s brain growth because breast milk contains high amount of lactose and galactose.
Breast milk contains vitamins, minerals, electrolytes and water which are essential for the maturation of the infant’s intestinal system.
Breast milk provides a facility that increases the absorption of calcium so that the baby’s bone growth is good.
Breast milk is easily digested.
Breast milk contains all the essential nutrients that a baby needs.
Breast milk protects the baby from infection and deficiency. Breast milk is already prepared. Breast feeding is a method of family planning, breast feeding is a natural contraception that has a major effect on population for developing countries.
It prevents children from diarrhea and also has laxative action.
Breast feeding has no dangerous allergic effects.
Breast feeding can save time and money and energy.
Breast feeding helps in building a healthy relationship between mother and child.
Chances of conception decrease during lactation.
Best feeding helps in involution of uterus (i.e. bringing uterus to pre-pregnant state).
Breast feeding reduces the chances of sunstroke, gastrointestinal infections and ectopic eczema. And the chances of scurvy and rickets are also reduced.
Breast feeding reduces the chances of breast cancer.
Breast milk contains IgA and IgM macrophages, lymphocytes, lysosomes, etc. due to which diarrhea and acute respiratory infections can be prevented in babies. And prevents against malaria and viral and bacterial infections.
Breast milk protects against conversion, hypocalcemia, tetanus, deficiency of vitamin E and zinc.
Exclusive breast feeding can prevent malnutrition in children.
Breast feeding increases the intelligence of the baby, and gives the baby a sense of security (due to the infant-mother bond).
The chances of illness in the child are reduced.
Breast feeding reduces the chances of postpartum hemorrhage (excessive bleeding from the genital tract after delivery).
Chances of ovarian cancer are also reduced.
Helps reduce excess fat stored in the mother during pregnancy.
🔸4.Define Esophageal atresia and Tracheoesophageal fistula, Write the signs and nursing management of Tracheoesophageal fistula.
TEF is a congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal system. In which there is abnormal communication between trachea and esophagus.
Mainly this problem is seen in low birth weight or premature baby.
Trachea and esophagus are fused by incomplete folds during the gestation period of fourth-fifth week of intrauterine life of the baby. Due to which this abnormal connection is seen between the two structures.
It is also classified into several types based on the communication between the trachea and the esophagus. After the birth of the child, due to this problem, its nutritional needs are mainly compromised and complications related to the respiratory tract are seen.
Clinical Manifestation of TEF.
The clinical manifestation of TEF varies depending on the type of TEF developed, with different types of signs and symptoms. Clinical features are usually seen soon after birth in this disorder.
Excessive salivation is seen in the child and bubbles are seen in his mouth. A large amount of secretion is released from the oral cavity.
Nasal secretions are also sometimes seen and cuffing and choking sensations are also seen in the child. Nozia and gagging are also seen in the child.
Spasm of the child’s larynx is observed due to saliva moving into the trachea. So sometimes cyanosis is also seen. When a baby is breastfed, the baby experiences a gagging sensation and choking reflex at the very beginning of feeding, and fluid escapes from the nasal cavity and oral cavity through cuffing.
Due to cough, cyanosis is seen in the child and breathing of the child is also temporarily abnormal. Abdominal distention is also seen in many children.
Feeding in the baby can also lead to respiratory tract infection due to repeated trachea.
Write its nursing management.
Nursing management of TEF is done very carefully. Because if this condition is diagnosed as early as possible after birth, the additional complications caused by it can be prevented.
Airway is kept clear by suctioning the child from time to time. Due to which the breathing pattern remains normal and cyanosis is not seen.
Oxygen therapy is also given when the child needs it, especially in case of cyanosis.
Vital signs of the child should be closely monitored.
The child is placed on Neil by Mouth (NBM) and intravenous fluid therapy is administered to maintain the child’s hydration level and nutritional status.
It is necessary to rule out the child’s abdomen for distention.
After the surgery, if the child has a chest tube placed, then taking proper care of this tube is very important. Monitoring and recording whether drainage is adequate.
It is necessary to dress the chest tube with aseptic technique and take all precautions to avoid infection.
Special care is taken of the anastomosed part of the child and care of the nasogastric tube is also very important.
After the surgery, the child’s elbow is restrained. So proper care of drainage tube and nasogastric tube can be maintained.
Oxygen therapy is also given as needed. The child’s vital signs are also specially monitored for early identification of any complications. If any complication develops, immediate management is undertaken.
All equipment for emergency and critical care of the child is kept on stand by.
After the operation the baby’s condition stabilizes, the baby is gradually started feeding and the baby’s condition is monitored.
At the time of discharge of the child, it is necessary to explain to the mother and father about all the care to be taken at home, to explain to take precautions for infection prevention, to explain to maintain the nutritional needs of the child, and also to explain to the mother and father for any complications and for regular follow-up.
Psychological support is also very important to reduce the anxiety of mother and father.
