CHILD’S HEALTH PROGRAMS (PART 2) Flashcards
Has five priority areas: road traffic injuries, burns and falls, drowing, falls, and poisoning
A.O. 2006-0016 - National Policy & Strategic Framework for Child Injury Prevention & Control
Physical damage that results when a human body is suddenly or briefly subjected to intolerable levels of energy
Injury
resulting from acute exposure to energy such as mechanical, thermal, electrical or radiant
Bodily lesion
resulting from lack of one or more vital elements such as air, water, and warmth
Impairment of function
Making positive choices about minimizing risk at all levels of society, while maintaining healthy, active and safe communities and lifestyles
Injury prevention
Aims to provide populations with the means to ensure the presence of, and maintain the conditions necessary to reach and sustain, an optimal level of safety
Safety promotion
Was established in 1976 to ensure that infants/children and mothers have access to routinely recommended infant/childhood vaccines
P.D. 996 (1976) - Providing for Compulsory Basic Immunization of Infants and Children below Eight Years of Age
First three vaccines of EPI in 1986
DPT, Tuberculosis, Hepa B
DOH EPI Strategic Plan from 2016-2021 strengthen immunization coverage of tradition vaccines and introduce new vaccines
R.A. 10152 (2010) - Mandatory Infants and Children Health Immunization Act
typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe
Vaccine
a simple, safe, and effective way of protecting people against harmful diseases
Vaccination
What does MMR stand for?
Measles, Mumps, Rubella
Contain a version of the living microbe that has been weakened in the lab so it can’t cause disease
Live, Attenuated vaccines
Killing the disease-causing microbe with chemicals, heat, or radiation
Inactivated vaccines
is made by chemically linking (conjugating) a protein molecule with a tiny amount of the polysaccharide that makes up the cell coating of the bacterium
Conjugate vaccines
is a type of vaccine that transfects a specific antigen-coding DNA sequence into the cells of an organism as a mechanism to induce an immune response.
DNA vaccines
they use an attenuated virus or bacterium to introduce microbial DNA to cells of the body
Recombinant Vector vaccines
influenza, polio, hepatitis A, and rabies are what type of vaccines?
Inactivated vaccines
measles, mumps, and chickenpox are what type of vaccines?
Live, Attenuated vaccines
Haemophilus influenzae type B (HIB), meningococcal and pneumococcal conjugate vaccines are what type of vaccines?
Conjugate vaccines
Site of vaccination for BCG
Upper arm
Site of vaccination for Hepa B
Outer thigh
Site of vaccination of OPV
Mouth
Site of vaccination of Pentavalent
Outer Upper thigh
Site of vaccination for PCV for infants and adults
Outer thigh for infants; upper arm for adults
Site of vaccination for MMR
Upper arm
Is a system of transporting and storing vaccines at recommended temperature from the point of manufacture to the point of use
Cold chain
at regional level, storage up to 3 months
Walk-in Cold Rooms
at district and PHC levels, temp ranges from 2 to 8 degrees celsius, and used only for the preparation of ice packs
Deep Freezers
both at district and PHC levels, temp ranges from -15 to -25 degrees celsius. This opens at the top, can hold cold air inside better than front opening refrigerators
Ice Line Refrigerators
Used to carry small quantity of vaccines
Cold boxes
Fully frozen ice packs placed at the bottom and sides
Vaccine Carriers
Used to carry very small quantity of vaccines (6 – 8 vials)
Day Carriers
Is a label containing a heat-sensitive material. It is placed on a vaccine vial to register cumulative heat exposure over time
Vaccine Vial Monitor (VVM)
VVM Indicator to discard the vaccine
When the inner square’s color matches the outer circle
A strategy for reducing mortality and morbidity associated with major causes of childhood illness
Integrated Management on Childhood Illnesses
True or false: IMCI focuses on exact diagnosis.
False. IMCI is action oriented.
IMCI guidelines rely on the detection of cases based on ___ without laboratory tests, and offer empiric treatment
Simple clinical signs
Leading cause of death under 5 years old, globally
Prematurity
True or false: In IMCI, the child is first treated before they classify the illness
False. We must assess and classify the ilness before treating the child.
Pink color in case management means?
urgent referral
Yellow color in case management means?
specific medical treatment and advice
Green color in case management means?
simple advice on home care
