Q

Airway anatomy in children

A
Large occiput 
Neck flexion caused airway to be cut off
Head bobbing in respiratory distress
Teeth can be loose
Infant (less than 12 months) 
Less than 6 months means they breathe through nose only
Large tongue and large amount of soft tissue - cause oedema 
Larynx is soft
Cricoid ring is narrowest part of airway
Trachea is shorter. Less bronchioles
Prone to ear infections etc

Q

Airway Assessment

A

Stridor- upper airway obstructing due to group or foreign object
Look, listen, feel
How hard are they working to get air in
Intensity of stridor does NOT indicate severity of obstruction

Q

Breathing physiological and anatomy

A

Air tissue SA is less in infants
Diaphragm principal respiratory muscle in infants - children are abdominal breathers
Thin chest wall so hard to hear lung sounds
Ribs positioned more horizontal (decreased tidal volume)
Can’t lift ribs up and out
Increased effort for breathing

Q

When assessing child breathing

A

Check for
Effort of breathing - LOOK nasal flaring, head bobbing, respiratory rate and depth, accessory muscle use, tracheal tug and chest recession
Effectiveness of breathing - LOOK chest expansion, symmetry, trachea midline, abdominal excursion. LISTEN breath sounds, air movement, grunting, wheezing stridor
Effects of respiratory inadequacy - mental status (drowsiness or adjetated) heart rate (increased), skin colour (pale), oxygen saturation

Q

Fixed SV in children

A

1.5mL/kg infants
75mL/kg adults
SV increases as heart size increases therefore HR decreases with age
Hypotension in children is pre terminal

Q

Circulation

A

Children exchange more than half of their extra cellular fluids daily - increased potential for dehydration
Must measure intake and output
BP and SVR increase with age
Higher metabolic rate
Renal tubule immaturity - can’t concentrate urine
Poo is more runny

26
Q

A
Infant - trust vs mistrust
Toddler - autonomy vs doubt
Pre schooler - initiative vs guilt
School kid - industry vs inferiority 
Adolescent - identify vs role confusion
27
Q

Piaget’s stages

A

Semimotor stage
Preoperational stage
Concrete operations stage
Formal operations stage - abstract, idealist and logic

28
Q

Gillick competence

A

Child achieves sufficient understanding and intelligence to understand the proposed treatment and consequences of the treatment their parents right to consent of their behalf ceases
Doctor decides competence
Treatment and consequences are understood and in best interest for patient

29
Q

30
Q

Family Systems Theory

A

Change in one individual will impact all persons within a family.
Family as a social and emotional unit
Helps with genograms
Family can create balance between change and stability
Contains boundaries (values, beliefs etc)
Doesn’t prove explicit guidance for nurses and doesn’t provide a view of the family over time
1. All parts are interconnected; 2. Whole is more than sum of its parts; 3. There are boarders and family controls who goes in and out; 4. Systems sorted into subsystems

31
Q

Family development theory

A

Family move through expected stages
Face predictable developmental tasks
Nurses can assess the extent to which developmental milestone has been achieved by the family
Doesn’t consider the experience of non-nuclear families or families facing impacts of non-normal events

32
Q

Structural/ Functional Family Theory

A

The structure facilitates the function
Understanding family dynamics and how these influence the families purpose
Doesn’t explain how families develop and manage over time
Doesn’t have a cross cultural component nor reflects diverse family types
Manifest Functions: placed intentionally to keep society moving forward
Latent functions: unintended consequences

33
Q

Health priorities and social policies in Australia

A

National evidence-based antenatal care guidelines (care for healthy preg women)
Australian National breastfeeding strategy (improve health of infants)
National framework for universal child and family health services (0-8 year children and fam access to healthcare)
National framework for protecting Australia’s children (reduce levels of child abuse and neglect)
Family and domestic violence strategy (government response to violence)

34
Q

Tools used in child and family nursing (6)

A
  1. Genograms
  2. Ecograms (circle with multiple lines one)
  3. Calgary Family Assessment Model (structural, developmental and functional)
  4. Friedman Family Assessment Model (fam is subsystem and assesses values and stress)
  5. Family Systems Stressor-Strength Inventory (big table showing from not applicable to high stress)
  6. Australian Family Strengths Nursing Assessment guide (8 activities eg sharing activities)
35
Q

A
Preconception: prior to pregnancy 
Prenatal: pregnancy to labour
Gestation: number of weeks pregnant
Perinatal: 20 weeks pregnant to 28 days after birth
Postnatal: first 6 weeks after birth
Neonate: first 4 weeks of life
36
Q

Pregnancy phases

A
Trimester 1 (0-12 weeks): hormones released
Trimester 2 (13-27 weeks): begin to show
Trimester 3 (28-40 weeks): random tightening of uterus (braxton hicks) increased movement of baby
37
Q

Stages of vagina birth

A

1st stage: 12-19 hours of labour. Regular contractions every 5-20 mins. Water breaks and mucus plug is discharged
2nd stage: labour lasts 20min-2hours. Cervix dilates 10cm. Baby delivered and umbilical cord cut
3rd stage: 5-30min mild contractions assist placenta to be delivered. During this stage baby can begin bonding through skin to skin touch and breast feeding. Uterus shrinks to control bleeding.

38
Q

Principles of growth and development

A

It is a continuous process from conception to death
It proceeds in an orderly sequence but happens at different rates
It is cephalocaudal (head to feet)
It proceeds in a proximodistal manner (center outwards)
Development of gross motor skills develops before fine motor skills

39
