INTRODUCTION

This is a case study of an 11month old client admitted at Polymedic

General Hospital with a chief complaint fever for of 2 cough weeks with and and Acute

diagnosed

Bronchitis. Bronchitis means that the tubes that carry air to the lungs (the bronchial tubes) are inflamed and

irritated. When this happens, the tubes swell and produce mucus. This makes you

cough. Acute bronchitis is usually caused by viruses or bacteria and may last

several days or weeks. Acute bronchitis is characterized by cough and sputum (phlegm) production and symptoms related to the obstruction of the airways by the inflamed airways and the phlegm, such as shortness of breath and wheezing. Acute bronchitis symptoms usually start 3 or 4 days after an upper respiratory tract infection. Most people get better in 2 to 3 weeks. But some people continue to have a cough for more than 4 weeks. Infants with bronchitis may have many of the symptoms above, but in many cases they are simply sleepy or have a decreased appetite.

B. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY This study aims to convey the patient and significant others with information about the disease process, medication, treatment, diet and its course of medical and nursing intervention. To assess patient thoroughly, identify health problems, plan care, application of plan activities and evaluate its effect to the patient. To present the case study to the group members and clinical instructor and evaluate and learn the outcome of the study to the patient and to the student. To understand the course and essence of the chosen care study and add up additional knowledge and understanding in the Nursing profession.

C. SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS This study in general with limited background and skills of students to care of the patient and problem identified carry through the process of referral to the clinical instructor, staff nurses, and doctors during the 2 days duty in the Pedia Ward. Interventions were rendered gradually depending on the objective assessment of the student. The following information only involves the exact words and answers supported by the client.

II. DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY

Sigmund Freud: Psychosexual Theory


Psychoanalytic theories of human development began in the 1900's with the work of Sigmund Freud. More modern theories of development have now replaced those of Freud. Yet it is still important to be familiar with the basics of Freud's work, as many modern views of human development still have their roots in Freudian theory. Freud developed a general theory of psychological development from infancy to adulthood. He believed that the mind of an infant consists only of primitive drives and instincts, such as the need for food and physical comfort, which he called the "id." The Oral Stage: Birth to 18 Months Anyone familiar with very young babies and children knows that they are focused on their mouths. A baby's first nourishment is received through suckling, and the sucking instinct is usually strong, even in newborns. Freud theorised that an infant's oral focus brought not only nourishment, but pleasure. REP belongs to this stage in which she enjoys sucking and later biting anything that touches the erogenous zone of the lips and mouth. Some infants enjoy this oral activity more than others, while some maybe satisfied by sucking at the breast or bottle, other require pacifiers, toys or other objects that can be orally manipulated.

Erik Erikson: Psychosocial Theory


Erikson's greatest innovation was to postulate not five stages of development, as Sigmund Freud had done with his psychosexual stages, but eight. Erik Erikson believed that every human being goes through a certain number of stages to reach his or her full development, theorizing eight stages, that a human being goes through from birth to death. REP belongs to Trust vs. Mistrust stage. Infancy: Birth to 18 Months Ego Development Outcome: Trust vs. Mistrust Basic strength: Drive and Hope Erikson also referred to infancy as the Oral Sensory Stage (as anyone might who watches a baby put everything in her mouth) where the major emphasis is on the mother's positive and loving care for the child, with a big emphasis on visual contact and touch. If we pass successfully through this period of life, we will learn to trust that life is basically okay and have basic confidence in the future. If we fail to experience trust and are constantly frustrated because our needs are not met, we may end up with a deep-seated feeling of worthlessness and a mistrust of the world in general.

Robert Havighurst: Developmental Task Theory


Robert Havighurst believed that learning is basic to life and that people continue learn throughout life. He described growth and development as occurring during six stages, each associated with six to ten tasks to be learned. Successful achievement of these tasks leads to success and happiness with later tasks, while failure leads to unhappiness in the individual, and difficulty with later tasks. REP belongs to this stage.

Developmental Tasks of Infancy and Early Childhood:


Learning to walk. Learning to take solid foods Learning to talk Learning to control the elimination of body wastes Learning sex differences and sexual modesty Forming concepts and learning language to describe social and physical reality. Getting ready to read

Jean Piaget: Cognitive Theory Swiss biologist and psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) is renowned for constructing a highly influential model of child development and learning. Piaget's theory is based on the idea that the developing child builds cognitive structures--in other words, mental "maps," schemes, or networked concepts for understanding and responding to physical experiences within his or her environment. Piaget further attested that a child's cognitive structure increases in sophistication with development, moving from a few innate reflexes such as crying and sucking to highly complex mental activities. Sensorimotor stage (birth - 2 years old)REP belongs to this stage-- for the child, through physical interaction with his or her environment, builds a set of concepts about reality and how it works. This is the stage where a child does not know that physical objects remain in existence even when out of sight (object permanence).

V. ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

Every time a breath is taken in, the air (20% oxygen) passes through the nose or mouth and then past the larynx or voice box into the windpipe (trachea)

which is about 12.5 cm long. At its lower end the windpipe divides into two main tubes called bronchi. The main air passage in each lung (the bronchus) divides into successively smaller branches which carry inhaled air to all parts of the lung. Each small branch terminates by forming a cluster of very tiny air sacs (the alveoli). A fine network of blood vessels covers the surface of every air sac thereby permitting gas exchange by diffusion. Oxygen from the inspired air passes through the thin tissues to combine with the haemoglobin of the red blood cells. Waste gases, mainly carbon-dioxide, pass from blood into the air sacs and are expelled on breathing out. Each lung is covered by a lubricated lining called the pleura. The inner side of the chest wall is also covered by a similar lining. These two layers of pleura are in contact and slide smoothly over one another during breathing. The act of breathing is mainly due to the diaphragm moving up and down. The diaphragm is a large dome-shaped muscle which separates the chest from the abdominal cavity. When the diaphragm muscle contracts, its dome becomes flattened and draws down the lungs, causing air to enter them; when it relaxes the lungs become smaller and the air in them is expelled. The muscles of the abdomen also help in breathing. When they tighten up, they press the abdominal contents up against the diaphragm and help in expelling air from the lungs; when they relax, they assist the diaphragm in drawing down the lungs as breathing in takes place. The normal rate of breathing at rest is 1618 times a minute. This rate increases considerably with exertion and also with certain diseases, especially those affecting the heart and lungs.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

Impaired muscilliary defenses of the lung Increase susceptibility to infection

Mucus production is greater Bronchial walls become thickened and inflamed Obstruct airways, especially during expiration Airways collapse Air is trapped in the distal alveolar ventilation Abnormal ventilation Fall in PaO2 Increase levels of PaCO2

VII. IDEAL NURSING MANAGEMENT

Diagnosis #1: Ineffective Airway Clearance may be related to thickened mucus secretions as evidenced by tachypnea, productive cough and shallow respiration Interventions: a. Assess rate and depth of respirations and chest movement b. Auscultate lung field, noting areas of decreased/absent airflow and adventitious breath sound, eg. Wheezes, crackles c. Elevate head of bed, change position frequently d. Assist with nebulizer treatments e. Administer medications as prescribed Rationale: a. Tachypnea, shallow respirations and unsymmetric chest movement are frequently present because of discomfort of moving chest wall and/or fluid in lung. b. Decreased airflow occurs in areas consolidated with fluid. Crackles, rhonchi, and wheezes are heard on inspiration and/or expiration in response to fluid accumulation, thick secretions and airway spasm/obstruction. c. Lowers diagphragm, promoting chest expansion, aeration of lung segments, mobilization and expectoration of secretions. d. Facilitates liquefication and removal of secretions e. Aids in reduction of bronchospasm as well as mobilization of secretions.

IDEAL NURSING MANAGEMENT

Diagnosis #2: Impaired Gas Exchange related to cough and fever as evidenced by changes in rate and depth of respiration Intervention: a. Assess respiratory rate, depth and ease; use of accessory muscles b. Monitor body temperature c. Addition/removal of bedcovers, comfortable room temperature, tepid/cool water sponges d. Maintain bedrest e. Elevate head and encourage frequent position changes Rationale: a. Manifestations are dependent on degree of lung involvement and underlying pulmonary/general health status b. High fever greatly increases metabolic demands and oxygen consumption c. Promotes a level of wellness; aids in faster recovery d. Prevents over exhaustion and reduces oxygen consumption/demands e. These measures promote maximal inspiration

IDEAL NURSING MANAGEMENT

Diagnosis #3: Activity intolerance related to decreased pO2 and body malaise Intervention: a. Obtain subjective data from the patient regarding normal activities prior to onset of acute episodes of asthma and current activity status b. Have patient use oxygen immediately prior to activity in the acute setting c. Monitor vital signs and oxygen saturation before and after activity d. Assist with activities as needed e. Pace activities and encourage periods of rest and activity during the day Rationale: a. Helps to determine the effect asthma has had on the patientsity to be active and allows for a better plan for future activity regimen. b. Improves oxygenation and provides for oxygen reserves to be used with increased demand. c. Use the results to indicate when activity may be increased or decreased. d. Conserves energy and reduces oxygen demand. e. Conserves oxygen.

Paced activities and encourage periods of rest and activity during the day At the end of 8 hours, client is able to state that he is

comfortable with activity performance.

X. EVALUATION/IMPLICATION

The mainstay of nursing and medical treatment with the patient having with such condition is to help the patient to cope, alleviate distress, prevent further complications and help the patient to recover as well as to encourage the patient and the significant others to participate in the therapy. From the initiation of nursing and medical interventions the client showed some signs of recuperation and gradually showed signs of progress. This was evidence form the complete bed rest up to the condition she was given the chance to ambulate gradually as tolerated. From this, my goal was achieved as evidenced by the desire of the patient to go back to his normal daily routine and from the progress of the patient. The clients mother was cooperative enough to stay at the hospital premises and never refuses to go home until the child is not stable. XI. REFERRALS The patient significant other is advice to take his home medication and after 1 week the physician note that any improvement in the clients condition and be back for follow up check up.
