1. Treatment for Pulmonary Atresia • Prostagladin E to keep PDA • Treat symptoms of CHF • Surgery 2. Where to give intramuscular injection Infants = vastus lateralis Peds = deltoid 3. Anatomy and physiology of infant’s heart 4. Childhood patent ductus arteriosus... What to find on assessment? • dyspnea , tachycardia • Full, bounding pulses • Hypotension • “Machine” murmur 5. Know what pertussis (Whooping Cough) is Patho: • Pertussis is primarily a toxin-mediated disease. The bacteria attach to the cilia of the respiratory epithelial cells, produce toxins that paralyze the cilia, and cause inflammation of the respiratory tract, which interferes with the clearing of pulmonary secretions. s/s: • Runny nose • Low-grade fever (generally minimal throughout the course of the disease) • Mild, occasional cough • Apnea – a pause in breathing (in babies) Vaccine for it is → DTap 6. Kawasaki disease Know what they are likely to develop While the majority of heart disease in children is congenital (present at birth), it is possible for kids to develop heart disease later in childhood. Kawasaki disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in kids. Acute: • Irritability • high fever lasting 5 or more days • red throat Subacute: • afebrile, • cracking lips and fissures, • desquamation of skin on tips of toes and fingers, 7. Know how to treat Rheumatic fever • Antibiotics • Aspirin • Prophylactic antibiotics for invasive procedure and dental work 8. Know what successive vaccinations are releasing antibody antigen response ?? 9. Know the evaluation of the infants that are septic Infants under 2 months → Any fever in an infant under 1-2 months needs to be evaluated for neonatal sepsis • At risk for neonatal sepsis • Workup → LP , Blood & urine cultures, IV antibiotics ASAP & monitoring 10. Atrial septic defect.. what kind of shunt is it? LEFT to RIGHT shunting of blood 11. know different disorders that fall under the umbrella of cyanotic disease • Pulmonary Atresia • Tricuspid Atresia • Tetralogy of Fallot 12. therapeutic regimen for patient with heart failure will be • Maintain fluid and electrolyte balance • Decrease workload of the heart • Provide adequate nutrition • Increase tissue oxygenation -- not sure? maybe? Meds: diuretics, ACE inhibitors 13. client education for sickle cell disease • Often at an early age this child becomes opioid tolerant • Seizure precaution 14. parenteral education for patient with hemophilia (Things they need to avoid) AVOID BLEEDING EPISODES 15.

Aplastic Anemia know pathophysiology Patho: Failure of bone marrow to produce blood cells resulting in pancytopenia Develops after treatment with radiation, medications, infections or congenital in nature. 19. Know what STAGE 2 WILMS TUMOR MEANS Patho: Intrarenal tumor that grows rapidly (doubling in size approx 11-13 days Manifestations: • Firm, lobated mass on one side or midline of abdomen • If symptomatic: HTN, abdominal pain and or hematuria Management: • Nephrectomy of affected tumor • Chemo and/or radiation • Don’t palpate mass aggressively Stage II: (graph in textbook) -tumor extends beyond the kidney and is completely excised -regional extension of the tumor is presented -vessels outside the kidney are infiltrated or contain tumor thrombus 20. Lymphatic Leukemia Patho: Stem cells in the bone marrow produce immature WBCs that do not function normally and are produced at a rapid rate that replaces the normal functioning cells leaving the body at an increased risk for infection. • Acute lymphatic leukemia- affects lymphocytes predominantly Manifestation: • Petechiae • Ecchymosis • Abnormal bleeding • Fever • Splenomegaly Diagnosis: • initially made by abnormal CBC (anemia, thrombocytopenia and/or neutropenia • Confirmed by bone marrow aspiration 21. Comfort Care 22. know what to do diagnosis with terminal illness... what type of treatments are available for that scenario 23. know what to do for immunodeficiency syndrome for HIV Patho: HIV destroys the T cells in the body leaving the immune system weakened and allows for opportunistics infections Management: • Preventions of transmission • Prevent opportunistic infections • 24. Child with AIDS.. as a nurse you would use to ENCOURAGE EFFECTIVE LUNG EXPANSION. (PROF WILL CHANGE QUESTION) 25. know the activities that children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis can do.. and most appropriate thing for them to do
