vitamin A can decrease mortality/morbidity
Measles and Disneyland
December 2014

Europe (Belgium, France, German

measles can be serious

~1/4 people who get measles will be hospitalized
1/1000 people with measles will develop brain swelling due to infection (encephalitis) which may lead to brain damage
1-2/1000 people with measles will die, even with the best care

varicella

Series of 2
Why your should care.
-Most common sexually transmitted infection
-HPV causes lots of cancer
-HPV vaccine prevents cancer
Why such low administration rates?
HPV9 valent
-Recommend 2 doses, 9-14 yrs with 0, 6-12 mo interval (routine still 11-12

administration of vaccines

Parental teaching- why important, schedule, side effects, VIS
Read package insert & follow instructions
Use appropriate route & technique
Accurate documentation
Tylenol for side effects of pain irritability
Watch for neurological side effects! (rare)
Must

contraindications/precautions

Defer for "severe febrile illness", OK to give with minor cold
Defer live vaccines in immunosuppressed client or recent passive immunity
MMR not given to pregnant people
Assess for previous allergic response to vaccine- if anaphylaxis do not give again

rule of thumb

Can give any vaccines in same day except MCV4 & PCV13 in asplenic patient
Give live vaccines simultaneously, otherwise 28 days apart
Pay attention to minimum age and minimum interval
Some vaccines have a max age
There is no maximum interval for vaccine se

factors that predispose infants to infection

Prematurity
Maternal infections
Early rupture of membranes
Invasive procedures

fever in newborn r/o sepsis

General- not doing well, poor temp control- hypothermia usually
Circulatory system- pallor, cyanosis or mottling, cold clammy skin, hypotension, edema, irreg HR
Respiratory- irreg rate, apnea or tachypnea, cyanosis, dyspnea, retractions, grunting
CNS- let

nursing management r/o sepsis

Assess and manage
*ICP
*respiratory difficulties
*skin problems
*maintain IV for antibiotics
*temperature control measures
*fluid & electrolyte balance

diagnostic workup/management r/o sepsis

Cultures of blood, CSF, urine
X-ray if severe respiratory symptoms
IV fluids & antibiotics
Supportive care of parents- need explanation and support
Manage hyperthermia-environment, tylenol (dose= 10-15 mg/Kg q4h)

Interventions
General Education
Environmental history and hazard reduction,

hematologic lead poisoning

1. interferes with synthesis of heme
2. accumulation of alternative metabolites, increased erythrocyte-protoporphyrin
3a. anemia
3b. increased urinary coproporphyrin and alpha amino levulinic acid levels, impaired Ca2+ function

renal lead poisoning

1. damages cells of proximal tubules
2. glycosuria, proteinuria, ketouria, decreased vitamin D
3. increased urinary coproporphyrin and alpha amino levulinic acid levels, impaired Ca2+ function

neurologic lead poisoning

1. increases membrane permeability leading to increased ICP leading to tissue ischemia and atrophy
2a. LOW DOSE EXPOSURE: distractibility, impulsivity, hyperactivity, hearing impairment, mild intellectual deficits
2b. HIGH DOSE EXPOSURE: lead encephalopat

good nutrition for kids

Moderation and variety
Only long-term patterns will have an effect
Individual needs vary
Breast feeding is the best
Obesity must be prevented
If given the chance, kids usually eat what they need

breakfast is important

British Journal of Medicine, 2017
Followed 802, 4-10 yr olds and 884, 11-18 yr olds from 2008-2012
Lower levels of folate, calcium, iron and iodine if skipped breakfast
-Iron: 31.5% ate/4.4% skipped
-Calcium: 19% ate/2.9% skipped
7% of 4-10 yr olds didn't
