Paediatric Analysis Paper

The pediatric observation assignment allows me to observe not only about the children but also about myself. While doing this assignment, I have observed myself that I can understand the theories better when I can able to apply them practically. The developmental theories I have learned in class are reflected in this process of observation and documentation. Also, the observation assessment tool, Hawaii Early Learning Checklist helped me to observe specifically about developmental signs of the child of the assigned age range. Together with the knowledge I already have and the assist of HELP Checklist, I documented the skills, and patterns of development of the 30-months-old-preschooler-boy Isaac.

The Child Study data I have gathered comes from the observation I have completed at Mission Bell Elementary School. Mission Bell Elementary School is a local school in Riverside. In the P.M preschool class there are 24 students, one teacher, and one assistant. The child I decided to observe is names Zoe. Zoe is 4 years and 10 months old. I immediately was drawn to Zoe because she had such a big personality, was very social, and smart. I am glad that I choose to observe Zoe because she was able to make my observation process smooth and easy. While observing her I had to pay close attention to her biosocial development, motor skills, cognitive skills, communication skills,

The author conclude in their research report that the overall incidence of the pressure ulcer among critically ill infants and children is greater than 10%. Based on the analysis of the research report and the following areas, background information, review of the literature,methodology, data analysis and conclusion, the edvience presented sufficiently supports the researchers conclusion. The author research involved identifying variables consistent with their research topic and then validly measuring them for reliable results.due to phenomology design that was used, the procedure to collect data was simple to carry out with little room for errors, this adding credibility to the evidence and helping to support the conclusion.

Institutions that offer health care play an important role in America’s society. Many of these institutions treat all kinds of diseases, but some medical facilities specialize not only according to the illness but also to the age group that is treated. One such institution is St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital which is located in Memphis, Tennessee. St. Jude investigators have the freedom to focus on making discoveries to find cures and saving children’s lives. St. Jude is leap in the right direction for caring and helping children with cancer.

In the beginning, the Children’s Bureau was part of the Department of Commerce, but was later transferred to the Department of Labor in 1913. The law that brought the Children’s Bureau into existence also called for the Bureau to be headed by a Chief, who would be a Presidential appointee, subject to Senate confirmation. The first Chief of the Children's Bureau was Julia Lathrop, one of the Chicago women who helped lobby for the Illinois juvenile court. During the initial years, the Children’s Bureau took on as special projects child mortality, deaths of mothers in childbirth, child labor, and juvenile delinquency (Bradbury and Eliot, 1956). Through studies and surveys, as well as through public education programs, improvements were shown in

One of the greatest tragedies in Australia happened over 50 years ago, it was the disappearance of the Beaumont children. Nine year old Jane Nartare Beaumont, seven year old Arnna Kathleen Beaumont and four year old Grant Ellis Beaumont took a trip to Glenelg Beach near Adelaide, in South Australia, on January 26, 1966 unsupervised, for a day of fun. Little did they, and others know that the day would end in a tragedy. Taking a bus to their destination at 10am is when everything began. The children’s mother, Nancy, was worried when her children did not arrive home at the time she hoped. She waited for every bus and when her husband Jim came home they searched the beach themselves. After a long search they went to the authorities and they went

Jackson appeared withdrawn, and was somewhat embarrassed before stating that he did not do well in school. Jackson knows that he can perform better in school. When the other children began to tease Jackson, he was ready to fight some of them. This is typical behavior for Jackson, and is also a pattern of disorganized attachment. Children with a disorganized pattern in infancy tend to show disturbed patterns of relationships, subsequently, their relationships with peers can often be characterized by a “fight or flight” pattern of alternate aggression and withdrawal. Jackson’s coping skills when upset, threatened, or embarrassed is fight, unless the person is physically bigger than him. If this is the case, Jackson uses flight to cope, and seeks his grandmother for protection and comfort.

The mean duration of hospital stay was (24+-17) days (range of 2–112 days) with the mean length of stay in ICU (9+-14). During hospitalization, 132 (37%) patients used vasopressor agents and 162(45.5) patients were on mechanical ventilation.

Psychology involves studying the mental functioning and general behaviors of both humans and animals. Social behavior and mental functioning of an individual are explained by exploring the neurological and physiological processes. These include emotions, cognition, perception, motivation, attention, brain functioning and personality. Child psychology is as well stated to be the application of psychological techniques to children where it involves carrying out research on mental states and development of children. The development of the child both physically, mentally and emotionally, with the help of a parent allows the identification of helpful information to any evolving challenges in child’s behavior and

One of the biggest factors that can affect a patient is the infections from pneumonia (one of the commons) and urinary tractor infection, Kids burns are one of the more complicated because kid starts growing so the skin and the process of replacing burn skin had to be repeated

     Child Psychology, study of children’s behavior-including physical, cognitive, motor, linguistic, perceptual, social, and emotional characteristics-from birth through adolescence. Child psychologists attempt to explain the similarities and differences among children and to describe normal as well as abnormal behavior and development. They also develop methods of treating social, emotional, and learning problems and provide therapy privately and in schools, hospitals, and other institutions.

For pediatric patients undergoing procedural sedation, there were no observed differences in clinical outcomes between capnography and standard monitoring. One study looking at the effectiveness of an immediate capnography signal, versus a delayed capnography signal, suggested that an immediate capnography signal was associated with a reduction in the number of hypoxemia events detected. Based on the clinical evidence for capnography compared with standard monitoring, the economic analysis found that capnography was not cost-effective in pediatric patients undergoing procedural sedation. There was no evidence to assess the clinical effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of capnography for pediatric patients undergoing CPR or in post-operative care. For pediatric patients in serious or critical condition, the evidence captured in the clinical review assessed the use of capnography in the neonatal ICU; however, there was insufficient evidence to make any conclusions about the effectiveness of capnography in this population. The cost-effectiveness of capnography for use as a continuous monitor in this population is

While in three Arabian Gulf countries according to a study that estimated the risk of VAP in adult and neonatal ICU patients in GCC countries is prob-ably higher than the US but lower than many developing countries (3). Thus education for health care providers on the prevention of VAP is essential, because the occur-rence of infections is directly related to the adequacy of staff. In 2015 a study was done in Taif University concluded that the educational level and the length of ICU experi-ence of nurses impact the use of VAP guidelines (4). Protocols are set to follow in or-der to limit the infection. Every hospital must have a protection criteria, strict rolls and protocols that each and every employee is obliged to follow in the sake of patients health and their safety. National Guard Health Affairs (NGHA) clinical practice guide-line care is set as follow, the head of bed must be elevated 30 - 45 degrees, sedation vacation, Peptic Ulcer disease prophylaxis, deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis, Chlor-hexidine use including brushing of teeth, ETT with CASS, ETT cuff pressure main-tained 20-30cm

and the frequency and timing of do-not-resuscitate (DNR) designation. The rate of DNR designation was 100% in patients

Infant development is inseparable from the progression of the infant’s relationship with caregivers. Contemporary accounts of the early comments highlighted the role of parents and other guardians in supporting infants gradually (Lyons-Ruth & Zeanah, 1993). This is because the infant needs parents who can help her negotiate the developmental task. Thus, there are 4 stages to develop which is birth to 4 weeks, age 1 to 3 months, 3 to 6 months and 6 to 12 months.
