  33. Let’s Review A 10 month-old baby was admitted to the pediatric unit. Each time the nurse enters the room the baby begins to cry. The most appropriate action by the nurse would be to: A. Complete all procedures quickly in order to decrease the amount of time the baby will cry. B. Ask another nurse to assist you with the baby’s care. C. Distract the baby. D. Encourage the parent to stay by the bedside and assist with the care.

  34. Let’s Review A 6 month-old is admitted to the pediatric unit for a 3 week course of treatment. The infant’s parents cannot visit except on weekends. Which action by the nurse indicates an understanding of the emotional needs of an infant? A. Telling the parents that frequent visits are unnecessary. B. Placing the infant in a room away from other children. C. Assigning the infant to different nurses for varied contacts. D. Assigning the infant to the same nurse as much as possible.

  35. Let’s Review Which child is most likely to be frightened by hospitalization? A. 4 month-old admitted with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis. B. 2 year-old admitted with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. C. 9 year-old admitted with a diagnosis of abdominal pain. D. 15 year-old admitted with a diagnosis of a fractured femur.

  36. Infant Nutrition Birth – 6 months: • Breast milk is most complete diet • Iron-fortified formulas are acceptable • No solid foods before 4 months* 6 - 12 months: • Breast milk or formula continues* • Diluted juices can be introduced • Introduction of solid foods*(4-6 mo): cereal, vegetables, fruits, meats • Finger foods at 9-10 months • Chopped table foods at 12 months • Gradual weaning from bottle/breast • No honey (risk for botulism)

  37. Toddler Nutrition • Able to feed self – autonomy & messy! • Appetite decreases- physiologic anorexia • Negativism may interfere with eating • Needs 16 – 20 oz. milk/day • Increased need for calcium, iron, and phosphorus – risk for iron deficiency anemia • Caloric requirements is 100 calories/kg/day • No peanuts under 3 years of age (allergies)* • Do not restrict fats less than 2 years of age* • Choking is a hazard (no nuts, hot dogs, popcorn, grapes)* Photo Source: Del Mar Image Library; Used with permission

  38. Preschooler Nutrition • Caloric requirements is 90 calories/kg/day • May demonstrate strong taste preferences • 4 years old – picky eaters • 5 years old – influenced by food habits of others • Able to start social side of eating • More likely to try new foods if they assist in food preparation • Establish good eating habits - obesity

  39. School-Age Nutrition • Caloric needs diminish, only need 85 kcal/kg • Foundation laid for increased growth needs • Likes and dislikes are well established • “Junk” food becomes a problem • Busy schedules – breakfast is important • Obesity continues to be a risk • Nutrition education should be integrated into the school program

  40. Adolescent Nutrition Nutritional requirements peak during years of maximum growth: Age 10 – 12 in girls Age 14 – 16 in boys Food intake needs to be balanced with energy expenditures Increased needs for: Calcium for skeletal growth Iron for increased muscle mass and blood cell development Zinc for development of skeletal, muscle tissue and sexual maturation Photo Source: Del Mar Image Library; Used with permission

  41. Adolescent Nutrition (continued) Eating and attitudes towards food are primarily family/peer centered Skipping breakfast, increased junk food, decreased fruits, veggies, milk Boys eat foods high in calories. Girls under-eat or have inadequate nutrient intake.

  42. Let’s Review The nurse recommends to parents that popcorn and peanuts are not good snacks for toddlers. The nurse’s rationale for this action is: A. They are low in nutritive value. B. They cannot be entirely digested. C. They can be easily aspirated. D. They are high in sodium.

  43. Let’s Review Nutrition is an important aspect of health promotion for the infant. Priority information to give the parents concerning infant nutrition would include (check all that apply): A. Restrict the fat intake of the infant to help reduce the chances of an obese child. B. Breast or infant formula must be continued for the first year. C. Encourage the use of a pacifier for non-nutritive sucking needs. D. Introduction of solid foods should begin at 4-6 months.

  44. Play is the work of Children • Enhances Motor Skills • Enhances Social Skills • Enhances Verbal Skills • Expresses Creativity • Decreases Stress • Helps Solve Problems

  45. Appropriate Play Activities Infants - Solitary Play, stimulation of senses (music, mirror) Toddler - Parallel Play, make believe, locomotion (push-pull toys), gross & fine motor, outlet for aggression & autonomy Preschooler - Associative Play, Imaginary Playmate, dramatic & imitative, gross & fine motor School Age - Cooperative Play, rules dominate play, team games/sports, quiet games/activities, joke books Adolescent - Group activities predominate, activities involving the opposite sex in later years

  46. Preparation for Procedures • Allow child to play with equipment • Demonstrate procedure on doll for young child • Use age-appropriate teaching activities • Describe expected sensations • Use simple explanations • Clarify any misconceptions • Involve parents in comforting child • Praise/reward child when finished Photo Source: Del Mar Image Library; Used with permission

  47. Communicating with Children • Provide a trusting environment • Get down to child’s eye level • Use words appropriate for age • Always explain what you are doing • Always be honest • Allow choices when possible • Allow child to show feelings/talk

  48. Let’s Review The single most important factor for the nurse to recognize when communicating with a child is: A. The child’s chronological age. B. Presence or absence of the child’s parents. C. Developmental level of the child. D. Nonverbal behaviors of the child.

  49. Health Promotion Childhood Immunizations Well child check-ups Nutrition Screenings throughout childhood (APGARS, newborn screenings, lead poisoning, vision/hearing, scoliosis) Health Teaching

  50. Immunizations • Primary prevention of many communicable diseases • Vaccines safety • MMR vaccine and autism (no correlation) • Reactions (pre-medicate with Tylenol) • Live attenuated vaccines (MMR, Varicella) • Weakened form of disease • Body produces immune response • Contraindicated in immunosupressed individuals • Inactivated (killed virus/bacteria or synthetic) • 1st dose only “primes” system- immunity develops after 3rd
