Pediatric Assessment and Fetal Development with Selected Pediatric Conditions
Developmental Approach to the Physical Examination
Three rules in the examination of children and adolescents: flexibility ,safety, and
organisation
Allow the child's age and developmental level to guide your history and physicalexamination
Atmosphere and environment are important
Incorporate health education and growth and development anticipatory guidance intothe examination
Move from the easy/simple -> more distressing; use positive reinforcement and'prizes'
Use demonstration and play to your advantage (play equipment or 'spares', paper dolltechnique, crayons, blocks)
Expect an age-appropriate level of cooperation; explain what will be involved in the physical examination and tell the child what she needs to do
Infants Keep parent in view Before 6 months examination on table; after 6 months examination in parent's lap Undress fully in warm room Careful with nappyremoval Distract with bright objects/rattles. Soft manner; avoid loud noises and abruptmovements Have bottle, dummy or breast handy Vary examination sequence with activity level (if asleep/quietauscultate heart, lungs, abdomen first) Usually able to proceed in cephalocaudal sequence Distressing procedures last (ears and temperature)
Toddlers Most difficult group to examine Approach gradually and minimise initial physical contact Leave with parent (sitting or standing if possible) Allow to inspect equipment (demonstration usually not helpful) Start examination distally through play (toes, fingers) Praise, praise, praise Parent removes clothes Save ears, mouth and anything lying down for last
Use restraint (with parent)
Pre-schoolers Allow close proximity to parent Usually cooperative; able to proceed head to toe Request self-undressing (bit by bit exposure modesty important) Expect cooperation Allow for choice when possible If uncooperative, start distally with play

CROUP
- a group of respiratory diseases that often affects infants and children under age 6
Assessment
harsh "barking" cough and sneezeinspiratory stridor nausea/ vomiting
fever Hoarseness respiratory distressOn a frontal X-ray of the cervical vertebrae, the steeple sign suggests the diagnosis of
croup.
Management
exclude other causes of shortness of breath and stridor Keep the child in a warm moist environment Cool moist air Do not trigger the gag reflex Croup can be prevented by immunization for influenza and diphtheria ; diphtherial
disease, but with vaccination diphtheria is rare nebulized adrenaline in addition to steroids (dexamethasone
ASTHMA
- predisposition to chronic inflammation of the lungs in which the airways( bronchi ) are reversibly narrowed.

note inspiratory stridor without expiratory wheeze however, as an upper airwayobstruction may manifest with symptoms similar to an acute exacerbation of asthma,with stridor instead of wheezing, and will remain unresponsive to bronchodilators.
Management
Avoidance of the allergen by environmental controlSkin testing and hyposensitization to identified allergensRelief of symptoms by pharmacologic agentsTreatment by Classification
a. Inhaled anti-inflammatory corticosteroid (mild but persistent) b. Moderate persistent: A plus long acting bronchodilator at bedtimec. Severe persistent: B with higher doses of oral corticosteroids
Pharmacologic Treaments
a. Albuterol/terbutaline to be given before corticosteroid b. Metered dose inhalers (should be with spacers in children less than 12 years)

Management of Hydrocephalus Aimed at:
RELIEF OF VENTRICULAR PRESSURETREATMENT OF THE CAUSE OF VENTRICULOMEGALYTREATMENTS OF ASSOCIATED COMPLICATIONSMANAGEMENT TO PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE EFFECTS OF DISORDER
ON PSYCHOMOTOR DEVELOPMENTObjective:
to diminish the volume of accumulated CSF; done by means of a shunt
What is a shunt ?A drainage system which will transport the excess of CSF to other parts of the body(ABDOMEN and HEART) where it can be reabsorbed.
NURSING DIAGNOSIS:
Risk for ineffective cerebral tissue perfusion r/t increased intracranial pressure
Risk for imbalanced nutrition, less than body requirements r/t increased intracranial pressure
Risk for impaired skin integrity r/t weight and immobility of head
NURSING INTERVENTIONS
Lie the infant flat after shunt placementUpright position drains the CSF rapidly

CEREBRAL PALSY
Nonprogressive disorders of upper motor neuron impairment that result in MOTOR DYSFUNCTION.Muscle is poorly controlled due to BRENDA

Signs and symptoms:May/may not move headPoor sucking and swallowingDelayed developmental task Preschool (signs of mental retardation)
Early Signs:At birth a baby with cerebral palsy is often limp and floppy, or may even seemnormal.
Baby may or may not breathe right away at birth, and may turn blue and floppy.Delayed breathing is a common cause of brain damage.Slow development. The child is slow to hold up his head, to sit, or to move around.He may not use his hands. Or he only uses one hand and does not begin to use both.
Feeding problems difficulties with sucking, swallowing and chewingDifficulties in taking care of the baby or young child
