Applying the Nursing PrоcessCаse Study 1: Pаrt 1 Pаulо, a 2-year-оld child, was accompanied to the pediatric office by both parents and his 6-year-old sibling. The parents report Paulo has been having some trouble breathing and would like him to be seen by a provider. Recognize Cues (Assessment) Assessing a child for croup can be completed by a focused respiratory assessment. Visualizing the child’s breathing and effort would be the first step, followed by listening for the classic sounds, such as a barky cough or stridor on inhalation. Determining if the child is moving air adequately is the priority assessment for children presenting with croup manifestations. Assessing vital signs, including temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, and pulse oximetry, is important for establishing a baseline and determining oxygenation status. Asking the parent for a history of manifestations is also an important part of the assessment phase, after the child is stabilized. Determining the manifestations that led up to the current state of the child will help identify the possible causes of croup. Assessing the child’s hydration status is important in any respiratory infection where respiratory rates are increased, and fever is possible. Additionally, children may not be drinking adequate fluids, which can all add up to dehydration. Other assessments to perform include swallowing abilities, voice volume or speaking difficulty, presence of drooling, and pain and discomfort of the throat. Which of the following findings would be an expected finding in Paulo’s assessment based on his age and the nurses’ knowledge of the pediatric respiratory system?
We've cоvered а lоt оf informаtion in Unit 3. We've leаrned a bit about arguing, and sourcing, and peer review, and style/voice, as well as what it means to enter "the endless conversation."With that in mind, please read the following passage:Imagine that you enter a parlor. You come late. When you arrive, others have long preceded you, and they are engaged in a heated discussion, a discussion too heated for them to pause and tell you exactly what it is about. In fact, the discussion had already begun long before any of them got there, so that no one present is qualified to retrace for you all the steps that had gone before. You listen for a while, until you decide that you have caught the tenor of the argument; then you put in your oar. Someone answers; you answer him; another comes to your defense; another aligns himself against you, to either the embarrassment or gratification of your opponent, depending upon the quality of your ally's assistance. However, the discussion is interminable. The hour grows late, you must depart. And you do depart, with the discussion still vigorously in progress. (Kenneth Burke, The Philosophy of Literary Form, 110-11)Then, in the time you have available, please write a paragraph (or more than one paragraph, if you prefer) relating the passage above to your experience (positive, negative, or both) creating Paper 3.
