human. It rapidly spread resulting
in an epidemic throughout China
and also spread the other
countries throughout the world.
3. DEFINITION
SARS-COV-2 , the virus that causes
COVID-19.
It is the largest category for an RNA
virus.
It most cases, it is difficult to detect
if coronavirus or a different cold –
causing virus is fever.
4. ETIOLOGY
It spread mainly person to person among
those in close contact.
The virus spread by respiratory droplets
released when the virus cough , sneezes
and breaths.
It can also spread if a person touches a
surface or object with the virus on it and
touches the mouth, nose or eyes.
Use infected persons equipment.
7. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Due to etiological factors
. ▼
Damage of type –ll cell
▼
Less surfactant release
▼
Surfacetansion Increase
▼
Impaired gas exchange
▼
Less Oxygen in blood
9. MANAGEMENT
1. Pharmacological management
Antibiotic for infection (Ceftriaxone , Zentamicin ,
Amikacin)
Antiemetics for vomiting (Ondansetron , Granisetron)
Antipyretic for fever ( Paracetamol)
Antivirul for viral infection ( Acyclovir , Penciclovir )
Antiasthmatics for shortness of breath ( Bronchodilator –
Salbutamal , Budicort , Duolin )
10. 2 NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT :
Isolate yourself in a well ventilated room.
Use a triple layered medical mask , discard
mask after 8 hours of use or carrier if they
become wet or visible.
Mask should be discarded only after
disinfecting it with 1% sodium hypochloride.
11. Take rest and drink a lot of fluids to
maintain adequate hydration.
Frequent handle hand washing with soap
and water. For at least 40 seconds or clean
with alcohol based sanitizer.
Do not share personal items with other
people in the household.
12. Ensure cleaning of surfaces in the room that are
touched after ( table , tops , door , handle etc )
with in 1 L hypochlorite solution.
Monitor oxygen saturation with a pulse oximeter
daily.
Connect with the treating physician promptly if
any deterior or action of symptoms is noticed .
13. DIETARY MANAGEMENT
Food to be eaten and avoided :
Eaten Food: Fruits, Vegetable,
almonds , hot milk .
Avoided Food: Oily food, Cold
drinks, Ice-cream, cold coffee,
Smoking, Alcohol.
14. Nursing Management
General Assessment
Assess the Patient condition.
Check the vital signs.
Physical examination should be done.
15. Nursing Diagnosis
1. Nursing diagnosis : Hyperthermia related to the infectious
process as evidence by checking vital signs.
2. Goal :To decrease the temperature of the patient.
3. Intervention:
Cover patient with extra clothing or blanket.
Check the vital signs and total heart beat and record.
During the hot stage, expose patient, open nearby
windows put on and tapid sponge patient.
Give prescribed antipyretic drug.
16. 2 . Nursing diagnosis : Dyspnea related to disease condition
as evidence by respiratory
rate.
Goal :To maintain optimal breathing pattern.
Intervention:
Patient vital signs are assessed.
Oxygen saturation level is monitored.
High flowler position is maintained.
Medicine are provided to the patient.
17. 3. Nursing diagnosis : Imbalance nutrition less than
body requirement related to inadequate intake of
essential Nutrition as evidence by weight loss.
Goal : To improve nutritional level.
Intervention:
To provide health diet .
To maintain the intake output chart .
To encourage patient to take iron rich food.
To provided medicine.
18. 4 . 4. Nursing diagnosis : Knowledge deficit related to lack of
knowledge about the disease condition as evidence by
frequent questioning.
Goal : To increase the knowledge about the disease
condition.
Intervention:
Discuss the need for proper nutritional intake and
imbalanced.
Provide information on the administration of drugs, drug
interactions, side effects.
Review the need for personal hygiene and environmental
clearliness.
20. CONCLUSION
There are hundreds of corona viruses ,
most of which circulate in animals ,
only seven of these viruses infect
humans and four of them cause
symptoms of the common cold.
