Q

what is common for preschool and 2 year old to do in post ictal

A

cry

38
Q

nursing management for seizure

A

maintain airway
don’t put anything in mouth
left side
clear space around
meds: phenobarbital, Ativan, keppra
AED: Vtach

39
Q

what is important to educate about seizure meds

A

dose may change as child ages or metabolism increases

40
Q

hydrocephalus

A

spinal fluid is unable to go down leading to increase ICP

41
Q

cause of hydrocephalus

A

intraventricualr hemmorgae
cari malformation
TBI
tumor
meningits

42
Q

hydrocephalus tx

A

shunt

43
Q

what is a shunt

A

drains CSF into abdomen with a one way valve

44
Q

what is more common non communicating hydrocephalus or communicating hydrocephalus

A

non communicating

45
Q

meningitis

A

inflammation of meningitis covering brain and spinal cord

46
Q

bacterial meningitis

A

more sequela - damage
more dangerous
can be 2ndary

47
Q

why can bac meningitis occur 2ndary

A

children bones are not ossified so the sinus is a large cavity and provides large area for growth and spread

48
Q

viral meningitis s/s vs bac

A

same as bacterial

49
Q

viral meningitis sequeala?

A

no

50
Q

meningitis infant

A

fever
poor feeding
vomiting
irritability
seizures
high pitch cry
bulging fontanelle
nuchal rigidity

51
Q

meningitis older

A

s/s abrupt
fever
chills
HA
vomiting
alertation in sensorium
irrituability
agitated
photophobia
seizure
coma
nuchal rigidity
- pos kernig and budunzki

52
Q

kernig

A

knee up and resistance or pain when fully extended

53
Q

brudskinski

A

head down to chest and knees bend and come up

54
Q

lumbar puncture for bacterial

A

decrease gluc
increase protein

55
Q

lumbar puncture for viral

A

normal to high gluc
normal to low protein

56
Q

tx bac meningitis

A

antibiotics

57
Q

tx viral meningitis

A

antibiotics until bacterial is ruled out
supportive
- dark room
- decrease stim
- minimal noise

58
Q

main goal of hydrocehlapus

A

reduce ICP
preserve CNS function

59
Q

t/f a shunt infection is a medical emergency

A

yes

60
Q

s/s of shunt malfunction

A

increase ICP
worsening neuro status
change in LOC

61
Q

change in LOC

*irritability
bulging font
wide sutures
dilated scalp veins
high pitch cry

63
Q

late sign of shunt malformation

A

decrease in LOC
seizures
cushings triad
fixed and dilated

64
Q

incidence of shunt infection/malformation

A

80% of children have infection with in 6 mo of placement

65
Q

how do we assess infants for hydrocephalus

A

measure and compare head circumference

66
Q

post op common complication after shunt

fluid and nerves

70
Q

why might kids with neural tube defects have latex allergies

A

multiple surgical produedures

71
Q

nursing considerations for neural tube defects

A

prone position
- can’t have anything putting pressure on sac
transfer
moist sterile gauze over topw

72
Q

will there be paralysis below defect for neural tube issues

A

yes

73
Q

when is neural tube fixed

A

24-48 hours

74
Q

post op management of neural tube

A

I&O
- 12-24 hour after surgery has decrease output and want to make sure it reestablishes
prone
keep diaper away
watch for infection
PROM = PT

75
Q

nursing considerations for neural tube

A

increase fiber and fluid due to risk for constipaiton
caloric intake since at risk for obesity
immunizations
seizure disorder after vaccination: normal
increase protein and iron
UTI

76

if you are straight Cath yourself do you have to be sterile

A

no
