ACCURATE QUESTIONS &ANSWERS PASS GUARANTEED.
Five repeated physiologic threats in peds infection questions - (ANSWER)Impaired
oxygenation/ventilation, poor perfusion, fluid/electrolyte loss, increased ICP/decreased cerebral
perfusion, and sepsis progression.
Respiratory infection = main danger - (ANSWER)Oxygenation/ventilation failure: airway obstruction,
impaired gas exchange, increased work of breathing, hypoxia, fatigue/respiratory failure.
Neuro infection = main danger - (ANSWER)Increased ICP, decreased cerebral perfusion, seizure risk,
possible herniation.
GI infection = main danger - (ANSWER)Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, metabolic acidosis, and
rupture/peritonitis/sepsis risk if appendicitis progresses.
Cardiac/systemic infection = main danger - (ANSWER)Poor perfusion, shock, and/or low cardiac output.
Skin infection = main danger - (ANSWER)Local spread, deeper tissue infection, abscess formation, and
transmission.
NCLEX priority rule: airway/breathing - (ANSWER)A child with worsening work of breathing, hypoxia, or
fatigue is more urgent than one who is only febrile.
NCLEX priority rule: perfusion - (ANSWER)Worsening tissue perfusion is dangerous even before
hypotension appears.
NCLEX priority rule: neuro status - (ANSWER)Worsening LOC with meningitis/encephalitis is urgent
because cerebral perfusion may be falling.
NCLEX priority rule: dehydration in kids - (ANSWER)Vomiting/diarrhea can become a perfusion problem
quickly.
