How much should babies gain per week from 2-6months?
about 70-120g/wk
At what age should weight be doubled?
By about 5 months
At what age should weight be tripled?
By about 12 months
How much weight do typical adolescence gain?
about 7-25kg over 2-3 years (girls) and about 7-29.5kg over 2-3 years (boys)
Factors affecting growth and development
genetics, temperament, health-nutrition, intelligence, gender (boys slower than girls)
Autosomal dominant inheritance
Each child has 50% chance of developing disease (ex. huntingtons, braca breast cancer gene)
Autosomal recessive inheritance
Each child has 50% chance of being a carrier, and 25% chance of having the disorder (ex. cystic fibrosis)
X-linked recessive disorders
Males are at risk: each make has 50% chance of inheriting (ex. color blindness, hemophilia a, duchenne muscular dystrophy)
Numerical chromosome abnormality
entire chromosome is added and/or missing
Structural chromosome abnormality
part of chromosome added/missing OR abnormal rearrangement
Trisomy
extra copy of one chromosome (47)
Trisomy 21
Down Syndrome
Trisomy 13
Less common, more severe
Monosomy
Missing one chromosome (45)
Only monosomy compatible with life
Turners syndrome (single X chromosome)
Klinefelter Syndrome
Boys have an extra X chromosome.
Bowlby Attachment Theory
attachment = motivational-behavioural control system - infants need one special relationship for internal development.
Nursing role in immunization
educate, respect, and have a non-judegmental relationship
Immunization in PEDS
vaccines decrease chances AND severity of disease.
Active immunization
Vaccines
Passive immunization
admin of antibodies from humans or animals
Respiratory Differences in PEDS
- lack of bony structures
- abdominal breathers (rely on diaphragm)
- appear barrel-chested
- Obligatory nose breathers until 3 months
- smaller airways, shorter distance to lower tract
- trachea short and angle at bronchus is acute, smallest at cricoid until 8 years
- smaller lung capacity and few alveoli
- underdeveloped intercostal muscles
- large tongue and tonsils
Asthma
Chronic airway inflammatory disease - infiltration of airway T-cells, mast cells, basophils, macrophages, and eosinophils.
Airflow Obstruction caused by…
- bronchial (airway) hyperresonsiveness
- airway edema
- mucous production
S&S of Asthma
- narrow airways
- longer expiration (wheezing)
- increase resp rates
- hypoxia (decreased oxygen)
- alveolar hyperinflation
- decreased perfusion
Silent Asthma
frequent coughing (at night) when secretions pool.
Severe Persistent Asthma
symptoms during the day, nighttime awakening, SABA several times/day, normal activity limited.
Chances for child if 1 parent has asthma
50% chance for child
Chances for child if 2 parents have asthma
75% chance for child
Asthma symptom triggers
exercise, cold air, hot humid air, strong fumes, emotional upsets, smoking, hormones
Inflammatory asthma triggers
Resp viral infections, dust mites, animals, cockroaches, moulds, pollens, air pollutants
Protective factors from asthma
large family, later brith order, childcare attendance, dog in the house, live on farm.
Diagnostic procedures for asthma
pulse ox, chest x-ray, blood gases, pulmonary function, peak expiratory flow rate, allergy testing.
SABA (Short-acting beta-agonist)
Ventolin = rescue medication (salbuterol)
LABA (Long-acting beta-agonist)
Pre-exercise (salmeterol)
Anticholinergic (ipratropium or atrovent)
inhibit broncho-constriction and decrease mucous production
Oral corticosteroid
used in bursts to manage uncontrolled asthma
Mild PRAM 0-3
Salbutamol q30-60min x1-2 doses, oral steroids
Moderate PRAM 4-7
Salbutamol q30min x2-3 doses, oral steroids, ipratropium.
Severe PRAM 8-12
Salbutamol and ipratropium q20min x 3 doses, PO steroids, IV methylprednisone, continuous SABA, IV magnesium sulfate.

PSYCHOSOCIAL
- infant-18months: trust vs mistrust
