Q

is monoclonal antibody palivizumab an actual vaccine?

A

not a rue vaccine
offers passive protection
antibody activates the immune system

36
Q

monoclonal antibody is a annual injection

A

no monthly

37
Q

which type of babies are monoclonal antibody given to

A

given to high risk babies ( underlying medical conditions that weaken immune system )

38
Q

potential complications of rsv ( otitis media
what is it?

A

fluid/inflammation of middle ear
common to children < 2 years
majority of OM infectios preceded by rsv

39
Q

true or false. chronic OM can cause hearing impairment. difficulties communicating

A

true

40
Q

potential complications of rsv: otis media S & S

A

abrupt onset
- earache
-fever
-purulent discharge
if becomes chronic can cause hearing impairment

41
Q

is this true : this is painful - babies are more cranky children are more common, inflammation of the middle ear with fluid there ( so much pressure it could rupture )

A

true

42
Q

Om- treatment and nursing care what are our goals?

A

relieving pain, facilitating drainage of fluid, preventing complications or recurrence, provide support to child and family

Q

what are the treatment for most om: are abx required

A

no abx are not required, for severe OM the abx required is amocillin

44
Q

how do we manage pain and fever for om

A

analgesics/antipyretics ( ibu or acetaminophen )

45
Q

how do we facilitate drainage for om?

A

cotton balls, sterile cotton swabs

46
Q

om- tx and nursing care surgical intervention to drain fluid decrease pain

A

myringotomy- surgical of eardrum - decrease pain

pressure equalizer tubes. tympanoplasty tubes - allows continous drainage

47
Q

how do we prevent om?

A

prevention - rpoutine immunization with pneumococcal vaccine ( the bug can cause om so it is suggested to get this vaccine )

48
Q

why do we not want to prescribe to antibiotics ?

A

doesnt want children to be immune to abx

49
Q

potential complications of rsv: laryngobronchitis
what is it “?

A

inflammation of larynx and tranchea and bronchi

viral ( most ) can be bacterial ( tissue is inflated )

50
Q

what are the signs and symptoms of laryngobronchitis ( croup )

A

hoarse voice, milf fever, restless, irritable

cough ( barking seal )

stridor “ darth vader: inhaaltion sound ( harsh and raspy = inspiratory wheeze )

51
Q

are these true about laryngobronchitis ( croup )
progressive breathing difficulty as the air passages narrow- risk for obstruction

  • increased rr, nasal flaring, restrations
    cyanosis
A

true

52
Q

what would you do if you start hearing stridor ?

A

take the patient to the hospital

53
Q

If mild croup ( no stridor on inhalation ) , what does this mean ?

A

this can be managed at home

  • teach parents to closely monitor breathing ( esp at night ) and seek medical attention if labored respirations or stridor, night air seems to behelpful
54
Q

if more severe will be hospitalized, vigilant assesment/observation by nurse for worsening symptoms

such as

A

02, pulse oximetry, oral fluids, iv
oral steroids ( dexamethasone ) im or iv if cant be tolerate po
nebulized epinephrine

55
Q

true or false. giving abx is rare when a baby has a corup?

A

yes this si true

56
Q

true or false. parent should remain with child as much as possible, hold on lap during tx.

A

true

57
Q

what could possible happen when an infant has a croup?

A

possible intubation, be ready for emergencies

as this can lead to destruction so intubation is a must

58
Q

where does the intubation goes ?

A

go in through the mouth and then through the larynx , tranchea, and then ventilate and regulate

59
Q

what is this describing : requiring of symptom and constriction of bronchioles

A

asthma

60

maintian normla activity, normal pulmonary function, prevent symtoms and reccurent exacerbations

67
Q

true or false. we do not want kids to participate in family school activities and sports as this can cause exhaustion

A

false, we still want them to be involved.

68

how will our goals with asthma therapeutic management ( long term ) be accomplished ?

A

*Regular HCP visits (1-6 mths), Prevent exacerbations (avoid triggers), use meds as prescribed and adjust when needed
* Pulmonary Function tests done to assess for changes *Encourage activity and exercise and teach how to manage

69

A

true

70
Q

medication therapy ( for long term )

medications will prevent , what are the the 2 main categories?

A

1) controllers or preventers

  • decrease inflammation and prevent episodes

2) relievers

  • treat symptoms quickly
71

spacers

72
Q

if coming to er with severe symptoms of asthma will step up therapy until under control. true or false?

A

true

73
Q

what are some examples of controllers or preventers inhalers?

corticosteroids or long term treatments

smoke
colds
animals

A

sabas ( salbutamel )

79
Q

what is staus asthmaticus?

A

med emerg, comes to er and then most often go to peds icu

80
Q

what are the sympotoms of resp distress ( status asthmaticus )

A

may developgradullay or suddenly

severe sob, 02 sats is <94 , profuse diaphoresis, sitting upright, refusing to lie down

81
Q

what are the most severe of status asthmaticus symptoms

Q

what is a sign of distress in status asthamaticus?

A

silent chest ( concern if cannot hear the wheezes anymore= tired and just not breathing )

83
Q

true or false. we must keep sats > 94% . ventilator if resp stress worsens on a pt who has status asthmaticus

A

true

84
Q

true or false. will increase inhaled drugs ( step up ) if continue on someone who has staus asthmaticus

A

true

85
Q

what can we add for someone who has status asthmaticus

A

will add oral/iv steroids and muscle relexants to decrease increase pulmonary function
