Identify Pediatric Respiratory Conditions and Pediatric Emergencies.
Topics of this game:
- Indicated for the child with recurrent strep tonsillitis or tonsillar hypertrophy.
- On assessment, the client with tonsillitis has enlarged or "________" tonsils which may obstruct the airway.
- This exam helps to determine the presence of a streptococcus infection.
- After a tonsillectomy, be sure to avoid these foods as they may be confused with blood in emesis.
- Frequent __________ as well as vital sign changes may indicate bleeding after a tonsillectomy.
- To treat pain after a tonsillectomy, you can apply this device to the neck.
- Defined as inflammation of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi r/t a viral infection.
- One key s/s of laryngeotracheobronchitis which may indicate inflammation of the larynx and trachea.
- Key s/s of croup which = airway obstruction along w/increased mucus production & narrowing of subglottic area.
- This device provides humidified oxygen and can be substituted w/cool night air or an open freezer.
- The child with croup should NOT take this medication because it may dry and thicken secretions.
- Inflammation and swelling of the epiglottis caused by Haemophilus influenza type B.
- The causative agent of epiglottitis.
- Helps to prevent epiglottitis; should be administered at 2, 4, 6 and 12-15 months.
- This sign is placed near the child w/epiglottitis because visualization of the throat may trigger obstruction.
- Children w/epiglottitis may refuse to speak or only speak w/a soft voice because of the difficulty breathing.
- Children w/epiglottitis will sit w/their neck extended and in this position to open the airway.
- Children w/epiglottitis have their mouth open and tongue protruding and __________ falling from mouth.
- Give children w/epiglottitis 100% oxygen as well as this emergency equipment available to permit breathing.
- An acute inflammatory process of the bronchioles and small bronchi that typically occurs in Winter/Spring.
- Children w/RSV require this transmission based precaution; place the client alone in a room.
- Children w/RSV experience varying degrees of respiratory distress and, thus, may lack oxygen.
- Indicates good asthma control with no s/s of an attack; children use allergy pills and maintenance inhalers.
- Indicates caution w/possible s/s of an asthma attack; children use short-acting B2 agonists and call HCP.
- Indicates medical alert w/expected s/s; children use short acting B2-agonists and go to the ED.
- An autosomal recessive disorder caused by altered/inability to make CF protein.
- Maintains balance of salt and water in lungs; traps chloride and thus water in the cells = thick, sticky mucus
- Children w/CF build up mucus here and =inadequate absorption vitamins ADEK and retention of fecal matter.
- Bulky, greasy, frothy and foul-smelling stools in the child with CF
- Children w/CF will be described as having a salty taste to their skin; this is the confirming diagnostic exam.
- Children w/CF have thickened sputum which builds up in the lungs = increased WOB and these infections.
- Children w/CF use bronchodilators and antibiotics via this route.
- Children w/CF consume diets high in these nutrients to meet energy and growth/development needs.
- Children w/CF use these medications w/in 30 min of eating and w/all meals and snacks.
- This is the preferred pulse assessment site for infants in an emergency situation.
- Typically, these are the cause of cardiopulmonary arrest in children.
- Use abdominal thrusts to relieve this form of airway obstruction.
- Infants should sleep flat on their backs in a crib w/a firm mattress and avoid soft bedding and toys.
- Prevention is key; baby proof the home, supervise the child and if this happens, call poison control.
- Not recommended to induce vomiting because it can cause more damage.
- Identify the time/nature of the toxin, assess ABCs and bring emesis, stool, etc to ED.
- Screen children between 1-2 yoa ideally; especially those in homes built before the 1950s/1960s.
- Children w/Lead Poisoning will undergo this type of treatment to remove lead form the circulating blood.
- Vacuum hard floors/windowsills, wash/dry hands, wash toys/pacifiers, look at parental occupations too!
