31
Q

In Endocarditis, what happens tot the heart valve?

infection/inflammation makes it stenotic

  • typically Mitral Valve
32
Q

SCD clients will likely need a — due to severe pain.

A

PCA pump

33
Q

Jones Criteria (Major/Minor Manifestations of Rheumatic Heart Disease)

memorize

A

Major:

  • Carditis
  • Polyarthritis
  • Sydenham’s Chorea

Vaso-occlusive Crisis

Cardiomegally

Abd. Pain and GI dysfunction

ENLARGED SPLEEN

Stroke

35
Q

Anemia

Hypovolemic Shock

INFECTION

36

Sickled RBCs live about –

A

3 mths

1 mth

37
Q

What is the cure for SCD?

A

nothing

there is no cure, only treat symptoms

  • controlling anemia
  • relieving pain
38
Q

In treating Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), what is key?

A

Hydration and Oxygenation

39
Q

— is a symptom of Rheumatic Fever.

A

Endocarditis

  • bacterial infection/inflammation of heart valves and inner lining
40
Q

What should we avoid w/ Hemophilia clients unless absolutely necessary?

A

Rectal temp

Skin puncture

41
Q

Normal Hgb is —.

With SCD, Hbg is —

A

Normal = 11 gm/dL

SCD = 2-5 gm/dL

42
Q

S/S of Hemophilia

A

Active bleeding

Hematomas

Hemarthrosis

Headache

Slurred Speech

Decreased LOC

43
Q

With Hemophilia, why avoid a Hot/Warm compress?

A

increases bleeding to the site!

44
Q

S/S of DIC

A

Petechiae

Purpura

Bleeding from openings in venipuncture site and surgical incision

Bleeding from umbilicus or trachea (newborn)

Bleeding evidence in GI

Hypotension

Organ dysfunction from infarction and ischemia

45
Q

Why is infection a problem with SCD?

A

Spleen filters out infection

Spleen is one of the major organs affected by SCD due to blood sequestering in the organ

46
Q

What is the key sign of Hemophilia?

A

hemoarthritis

  • treat immediately
  • rest, immobilize, elevate, supply ice
47
Q

Treatment for Kawasaki Disease

High dose of IVIG and Salicylate therapy

ASPIRIN

48
Q

How common is stroke w/ SCD children?

A

10%

49
Q

Nursing considerations when giving PO Iron.

A

If tolerated, give on empty stomach (with juice NOT MILK)

Give with meals and start with reduced dose and gradually increase if GI disturbance occurs

Give with Vitamin C to increase absorption

Use straw to prevent staining of teeth

Stools will be tarry green–this is normal

Brush teeth after dose to minimize/prevent staining

50
Q

What helps keep SCD kids healthy?

A 
good nutrition (folic acid)
- (though they can eat normal food)

**important b/c even a little cold can make them very ill

51
Q

Sickle Cell Crisis is triggered by — or — and signs include — and —
