A hernia happens when an organ or maybe fatty tissue squeezes through a weak
spot in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue called fascia.
Hernias were
once the leading cause of acute intestinal obstruction.
Public alertness of early
repair has markedly reduced the frequency of incarceration of intestine in these
musculofascial defects.
The common sites for these defects, in order of frequency,
are inguinal, umbilical, incisional and femoral. Techniques of repair continue to
evolve but tension-free, mesh repairs are the current standard.
You may have a hernia if you can feel a soft lump in your belly or groin or in a
scar where you had surgery in the past. The lump may go away when you press on
it or lie down. It may be painful, especially when you cough, bend over, or lift
something heavy.
Hernia (in Latin, the rupture of a portion of a structure) is defined as a protrusion of the normal internal abdominal viscera through a weakness or defect in the fascial and muscular layers which normally confine them. The groin region, lying between the lower abdomen and the thigh, represents one of the weakest natural points of the abdominal wall and is the site of most common abdominal wall hernias

Featured snippet from the web
A hernia is the abnormal exit of tissue or an organ, such as the bowel, through the wall of the cavity in which it normally resides. Hernias come in a number of types. Most commonly they involve the abdomen, specifically the groin. Groin hernias are most commonly of the inguinal type but may also be femoral
Hernia can be life-threatening. If the neck of the herniated sac is obstructed, blood supply to the distal part would be cut short. This would result in gangrene of the herniated part, which is a surgical emergency.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

I.INTRODUCTION
This is the case study of baby S.A.M, a 4 year old client from Tambubong, Baliuag, Bulacan, he was admitted at Baliuag District Hospital last May 14,
2013 at 1:15 p.m with a chief complaint of Indirect Inguinal Hernia and Undescended Testes.
A hernia occurs when the contents of a body cavity bulge out of the area where they are normally contained. These contents, usually portions of intestine
or abdominal fatty tissue, are enclosed in the thin membrane that naturally lines the inside of the cavity. Hernias by themselves may be asymptomatic (produce
no symptoms) or cause slight to severe pain. Nearly all have a potential risk of having their blood supply cut off (becoming strangulated). When the content of
the hernia bulges out, the opening it bulges out through can apply enough pressure that blood vessels in the hernia are constricted and therefore the blood supply
is cut off. If the blood supply is cut off at the hernia opening in the abdominal wall, it becomes a medical and surgical emergency as the tissue needs oxygen
which is transported by the blood supply. Different types of abdominal-wall hernias include the following:
Inguinal (groin) hernia: Making up 75% of all abdominal-wall hernias and occurring up to 25 times more often in men than women, these hernias are divided into
two different types, direct and indirect. Both occur in the groin area where the skin of the thigh joins the torso (the inguinal crease), but they have slightly
different origins. Both of these types of hernias can similarly appear as a bulge in the inguinal area. Distinguishing between the direct and indirect hernia,
however, is important as a clinical diagnosis.
o Indirect inguinal hernia: An indirect hernia follows the pathway that the testicles made during fetal development, descending from the abdomen
into the scrotum. This pathway normally closes before birth but may remain a possible site for a hernia in later life. Sometimes the hernia sac
may protrude into the scrotum. An indirect inguinal hernia may occur at any age.
o Direct inguinal hernia: The direct inguinal hernia occurs slightly to the inside of the site of the indirect hernia, in an area where the abdominal
wall is naturally slightly thinner. It rarely will protrude into the scrotum. Unlike the indirect hernia, which can occur at any age, the direct hernia
tends to occur in the middle-aged and elderly because their abdominal walls weaken as they age.
Femoral hernia: The femoral canal is the path through which the femoral artery, vein, and nerve leave the abdominal cavity to enter the thigh. Although
normally a tight space, sometimes it becomes large enough to allow abdominal contents (usually intestine) to protrude into the canal. A femoral hernia
causes a bulge just below the inguinal crease in roughly the mid-thigh area. Usually occurring in women, femoral hernias are particularly at risk of
becoming irreducible (not able to be pushed back into place) and strangulated. Not all hernias that are irreducible are strangulated (have their blood supply
cut off ), but all hernias that are irreducible need to be evaluated by a health-care provider.
5. 5
Umbilical hernia: These common hernias (10%-30%) are often noted at birth as a protrusion at the bellybutton (the umbilicus). This is caused when an opening in
the abdominal wall, which normally closes before birth, doesn't close completely. If small (less than half an inch), this type of hernia usually closes gradually by
age 2. Larger hernias and those that do not close by themselves usually require surgery at age 2-4 years. Even if the area is closed at birth, umbilical hernias can
appear later in life because this spot may remain a weaker place in the abdominal wall. Umbilical hernias can appear later in life or in women who are pregnant or
who have given birth (due to the added stress on the area).
Incisional hernia: Abdominal surgery causes a flaw in the abdominal wall. This flaw can create an area of weakness in which a hernia may develop. This occurs
after 2%-10% of all abdominal surgeries, although some people are more at risk. Even after surgical repair, incisional hernias may return.
Spigelian hernia: This rare hernia occurs along the edge of the rectus abdominus muscle through the spigelian fascia, which is several inches to the side of the
middle of the abdomen.
Obturator hernia: This extremely rare abdominal hernia develops mostly in women. This hernia protrudes from the pelvic cavity through an opening in the pelvic
bone (obturator foramen). This will not show any bulge but can act like a bowel obstruction and cause nausea and vomiting. Because of the lack of visible
bulging, this hernia is very difficult to diagnose.
Epigastric hernia: Occurring between the navel and the lower part of the rib cage in the midline of the abdomen, epigastric hernias are composed usually of fatty
tissue and rarely contain intestine. Formed in an area of relative weakness of the abdominal wall, these hernias are often painless and unable to be pushed back
into the abdomen when first discovered.
Hernia Causes:Although abdominal hernias can be present at birth, others develop later in life. Some involve pathways formed during fetal development,
existing openings in the abdominal cavity, or areas of abdominal-wall weakness.Any condition that increases the pressure of the abdominal cavity may contribute to
the formation or worsening of a hernia. Examples include: obesity,heavy lifting,coughing,straining during a bowel movement or urination,chronic lung disease and
6. 6
fluid in the abdominal cavity. A family history of hernias can make you more likely to develop a hernia.
The signs and symptoms of a hernia can range from noticing a painless lump to the severely painful, tender, swollen protrusion of tissue that you are
unable to push back into the abdomen (an incarcerated strangulated hernia).Reducible Hernia: It may appear as a new lump in the groin or other abdominal area. It
may ache but is not tender when touched. Sometimes pain precedes the discovery of the lump. The lump increases in size when standing or when abdominal
pressure is increased (such as coughing). It may be reduced (pushed back into the abdomen) unless very large. Irreducible hernia: It may be an occasionally painful
enlargement of a previously reducible hernia that cannot be returned into the abdominal cavity on its own or when you push it. Some may be chronic (occur over a
long term) without pain. An irreducible hernia is also known as an incarcerated hernia. t can lead to strangulation (blood supply being cut off to tissue in the hernia).
Signs and symptoms of bowel obstruction may occur, such as nausea and vomiting. Strangulated hernia: This is an irreducible hernia in which the entrapped
intestine has its blood supply cut off. Pain is always present, followed quickly by tenderness and sometimes symptoms of bowel obstruction (nausea and vomiting).
The affected person may appear ill with or without fever. This condition is a surgical emergency.
Hernia Diagnosis:If you have an obvious hernia, the doctor may not require any other tests (if you are healthy otherwise). If you have symptoms of a hernia
(dull ache in groin or other body area with lifting or straining but without an obvious lump), the doctor may feel the area while increasing abdominal pressure
(having you stand or cough). This action may make the hernia able to be felt. If you have an inguinal hernia, the doctor will feel for the potential pathway and look
for a hernia by inverting the skin of the scrotum with his or her finger.
Our client have a Indirect Inguinal Hernia (Reducible Hernia).The diagnostic procedure done with our client is Physical Examination.The other laboratory
examinations like Hematology, Urinalysis, and X-ray. The patient’s medication were Morphine sulfate,Ketamine,Paracetamol, Mefenamic acid.
During gestation, a boy's testicles develop inside his abdomen, and then, sometime before birth, they push through a tunnel in the tissue between the groin
and the abdomen (called the inguinal canal) and descend into the scrotal sac.In girls, the ovaries descend through the tunnel and into the pelvis. At that point, the
passage through the abdominal wall should close up.In about 5 percent of babies (mostly boys, and especially those who were premature), the opening remains large
enough to allow a loop of the intestine to poke down into the tunnel. Inguinal hernias do not improve on their own. You'll notice a firm, oblong lump about the size
of your thumb either in your baby's groin area or the scrotum. You may not notice the lump for weeks or even months after your child is born.It may bulge out when
he's active or crying, then disappear back into the abdomen when your baby is relaxed. Hernias occur more often in children who have one or more of the following
risk factors: a parent or sibling who had a hernia as an infant, cystic fibrosis, developmental dysplasia in the hip, undescended testes, abnormalities of the urethra.
About 25% of males and 2% of females develop inguinal hernias; this is the most common hernia in males and females.Data from developing countries is
limited hence the exact prevalence and incidence is not known. Gender and anatomic distribution of Hernias is believed to be similar to developed countries.
Generally most of the hernias occur in the groin in adults.Approximately 75% of all hernias occur in the groin; two thirds of these hernias are indirect and one third
direct.Indirect inguinal hernias are the most common hernias in both men and women; a right-sided predominance exists.Incisional and ventral hernias account for
10% of all hernias. Only 3% of hernias are femoral hernias.Between 10% and 30% of children have an abdominal wall hernia; most hernias of this type close
7. 7
spontaneously by age 1 year. The incidence of incarcerated or strangulated hernias in children is 10-20%; 50% of these occur in infants younger than 6 months.
Sex: Approximately 90% of all inguinal hernia occur in males. Femoral hernias (although rare) occur almost exclusively in women because of the differences in the
pelvic anatomy. The female-to-male ratio of Obturator hernias is 6:1. Age:Indirect hernias usually present during the first year of life, but they may not appear until
middle or old age. Direct hernias occur in older patients as a result of relaxation of abdominal wall musculature and thinning of the fascia. Umbilical hernias usually
occur in infants and reach their maximal size by the first month of life. Most hernias of this type close spontaneously by the first year of life, with only a 2-10%
incidence in children older than 1 year. HerniaIncidence http://www.medindia.net/surgicalprocedures/hernia-incidence.htm#ixzz2TahgRVDl
We chose this case because we are aiming to gain more knowledge and explain all the necessary information about Indirect Inguinal Hernia. In addition, our
group will learn the needed action for this type of disease in hospital setting aside from the knowledge acquired in Nursing Education. And this study also aims to be
a reference for future studies and researches of other nursing students.

Exploration
DEFINITION Children need to begin
asserting control and power
over the environment. Success
in this stage leads to a sense of
purpose. Children who try to
exert too much power
experience disapproval,
resulting in a sense of guilt.
Children begin to think
symbolically and learn to use
words and pictures to
represent objects. They also
tend to be very egocentric, and
see things only from their
point of view.
Developemental changes
Children at this stage tend to
be egocentric and struggle to
see things from the perspective
of others.
While they are getting better
The third stage of
psychosexual development is
the phallic stage, spanning the
ages of three to six years,
wherein the child's genitalia
are his or her
primary erogenous zone. It is
in this third infantile
development stage that
children become aware of their
bodies, the bodies of other
children, and the bodies of
their parents; they gratify
This is the stage that all young
children start at (and a few
adults remain in). Rules are
seen as being fixed and
absolute. Obeying the rules is
important because it means
avoiding punishment.

The inguinal canal is a passage in the anterior (toward the front of the body) abdominal wall which in men conveys the spermatic cord and in women the round
ligament. The inguinal canal is larger and more prominent in men. Each person has two, on the left and right sides of the abdomen.
The small intestine (or small bowel) is the part of the gastrointestinal tract following the stomach and followed by the large intestine and is where much of
the digestion and absorption of food takes place.
The superficial inguinal ring (subcutaneous inguinal ring or external inguinal ring) is an anatomical structure in the anterior wall of the human abdomen. It is a
triangular opening that forms the exit of the inguinal canal, which houses the ilioinguinal nerve, the genital branch of the genitor femoral nerve, and the spermatic
cord (in men) or the round ligament (in women)
The deep inguinal ring (internal or deep abdominal ring, abdominal inguinal ring, internal inguinal ring) is the entrance to the inguinal canal.
The spermatic cord is the name given to the cord-like structure in males formed by the vas deferens and surrounding tissue that run from the abdomen down to
each testicle
The testicle is the male gonad in animals testes are components of both the reproductive system and the endocrine system. The primary functions of the testes are to
produce sperm (spermatogenesis) and to produce androgens, primarily testosterone.

treatment to Indirect
Inguinal Hernia
the content of the
hernia bulges out, the
opening it bulges out
through can apply
enough pressure that
blood vessels in the
hernia are constricted
and therefore the
blood supply is cut
off. If the blood
supply is cut off at
the hernia opening in
the abdominal wall,
it becomes a medical
and surgical
emergency as the
tissue needs oxygen
which is transported
by the blood supply.
Different types of
abdominal-wall
hernias include the
following:
• Inguinal (groin)
hernia: Making up
75% of all
abdominal-wall
hernias and occurring
up to 25 times more
often in men than
women, these hernias
are divided into two
d. Gain knowledge
about possible treatment
to Indirect Inguinal
Hernia
55. 55
different types, direct
and indirect. Both
occur in the groin
area where the skin
of the thigh joins the
torso (the inguinal
crease), but they
have slightly
different origins.
Both of these types
of hernias can
similarly appear as a
bulge in the inguinal
area. Distinguishing
between the direct
and indirect hernia,
however, is
important as a
clinical diagnosis.
o Indirect inguinal
hernia: An indirect
hernia follows the
pathway that the
testicles made during
fetal development,
descending from the
abdomen into the
scrotum. This
pathway normally
closes before birth
but may remain a
possible site for a
56. 56
hernia in later life.
Sometimes the hernia
sac may protrude
into the scrotum. An
indirect inguinal
hernia may occur at
any age.
o Direct inguinal
hernia: The direct
inguinal hernia
occurs slightly to the
inside of the site of
the indirect hernia, in
an area where the
abdominal wall is
naturally slightly
thinner. It rarely will
protrude into the
scrotum. Unlike the
indirect hernia,
which can occur at
any age, the direct
hernia tends to occur
in the middle-aged
and elderly because
their abdominal walls
weaken as they age.
• Femoral hernia:
The femoral canal is
the path through
which the femoral
artery, vein, and
57. 57
nerve leave the
abdominal cavity to
enter the thigh.
Although normally a
tight space,
sometimes it
becomes large
enough to allow
abdominal contents
(usually intestine) to
protrude into the
canal. A femoral
hernia causes a bulge
just below the
inguinal crease in
roughly the mid-
thigh area. Usually
occurring in women,
femoral hernias are
particularly at risk of
becoming irreducible
(not able to be
pushed back into
place) and
strangulated. Not all
hernias that are
irreducible are
strangulated (have
their blood supply
cut off ), but all
hernias that are
irreducible need to
58. 58
be evaluated by a
health-care provider.
• Umbilical hernia:
These common
hernias (10%-30%)
are often noted at
birth as a protrusion
at the bellybutton
(the umbilicus). This
is caused when an
opening in the
abdominal wall,
which normally
closes before birth,
doesn't close
completely. If small
(less than half an
inch), this type of
hernia usually closes
gradually by age 2.
Larger hernias and
those that do not
close by themselves
usually require
surgery at age 2-4
years. Even if the
area is closed at
birth, umbilical
hernias can appear
later in life because
this spot may remain
59. 59
a weaker place in the
abdominal wall.
Umbilical hernias
can appear later in
life or in women who
are pregnant or who
have given birth (due
to the added stress on
the area).
• Incisional hernia:
Abdominal surgery
causes a flaw in the
abdominal wall. This
flaw can create an
area of weakness in
which a hernia may
develop. This occurs
after 2%-10% of all
abdominal surgeries,
although some
people are more at
risk. Even after
surgical repair,
incisional hernias
may return.
• Spigelian hernia:
This rare hernia
occurs along the
edge of the rectus
abdominus muscle
60. 60
through the spigelian
fascia, which is
several inches to the
side of the middle of
the abdomen.
• Obturator hernia:
This extremely rare
abdominal hernia
develops mostly in
women. This hernia
protrudes from the
pelvic cavity through
an opening in the
pelvic bone
(obturator foramen).
This will not show
any bulge but can act
like a bowel
obstruction and cause
nausea and vomiting.
Because of the lack
of visible bulging,
this hernia is very
difficult to diagnose.
• Epigastric hernia:
Occurring between
the navel and the
lower part of the rib
cage in the midline
of the abdomen,
61. 61
epigastric hernias are
composed usually of
fatty tissue and rarely
contain intestine.
Formed in an area of
relative weakness of
the abdominal wall,
these hernias are
often painless and
unable to be pushed
back into the
abdomen when first
discovered.
Hernia
Causes:Although
abdominal hernias
can be present at
birth, others develop
later in life. Some
involve pathways
formed during fetal
development,
existing openings in
the abdominal cavity,
or areas of
abdominal-wall
weakness.Any
condition that
increases the
pressure of the
abdominal cavity
62. 62
may contribute to the
formation or
worsening of a
hernia. Examples
include:
obesity,heavy
lifting,coughing,strai
ning during a bowel
movement or
urination,chronic
lung disease and
fluid in the
abdominal cavity. A
family history of
hernias can make
you more likely to
develop a hernia.
The signs
and symptoms of a
hernia can range
from noticing a
painless lump to the
severely painful,
tender, swollen
protrusion of tissue
that you are unable to
push back into the
abdomen (an
incarcerated
strangulated
hernia).Reducible
Hernia: It may
63. 63
appear as a new lump
in the groin or other
abdominal area. It
may ache but is not
tender when touched.
Sometimes pain
precedes the
discovery of the
lump. The lump
increases in size
when standing or
when abdominal
pressure is increased
(such as coughing). It
may be reduced
(pushed back into the
abdomen) unless
very large.
Irreducible hernia: It
may be an
occasionally painful
enlargement of a
previously reducible
hernia that cannot be
returned into the
abdominal cavity on
its own or when you
push it. Some may be
chronic (occur over a
long term) without
pain. An irreducible
hernia is also known
64. 64
as an incarcerated
hernia. t can lead to
strangulation (blood
supply being cut off
to tissue in the
hernia). Signs and
symptoms of bowel
obstruction may
occur, such as nausea
and vomiting.
Strangulated hernia:
This is an irreducible
hernia in which the
entrapped intestine
has its blood supply
cut off. Pain is
always present,
followed quickly by
tenderness and
sometimes symptoms
of bowel obstruction
(nausea and
vomiting). The
affected person may
appear ill with or
without fever. This
condition is a
surgical emergency.
Hernia
Diagnosis:If you
have an obvious
65. 65
hernia, the doctor
may not require any
other tests (if you are
healthy otherwise). If
you have symptoms
of a hernia (dull ache
in groin or other
body area with lifting
or straining but
without an obvious
lump), the doctor
may feel the area
while increasing
abdominal pressure
(having you stand or
cough). This action
may make the hernia
able to be felt. If you
have an inguinal
hernia, the doctor
will feel for the
potential pathway
and look for a hernia
by inverting the skin
of the scrotum with
his or her finger.

temperature is
essential, so that it
does not drop below
normal.
Preparation
Explain to the patient
what you will be
doing. The bath is
ineffective if the
patient is nervous or
frightened. Record
the temperature
before beginning the
bath. Gather the
needed supplies: bath
basin, several
washcloths, towels
and a bath sheet. Fill
the bath basin with
tepid water, 80 to 90
degrees Fahrenheit.
You may need to
refill the basin
several times
throughout the bath,
to prevent the water
from becoming too
cool.
Soak four washcloths
in the tepid water and
69. 69
wring out the excess.
Place one washcloth
under each of the
patient's arms and
one on each side of
his groin. The blood
vessels are close to
the skin in these
areas, and this will
help to cool the
patient more
effectively. At first,
the patient will be
chilled by this; allow
several minutes for
his body to adjust to
the temperature of
the water.
Bathing
Sponge each of the
patient's limbs for
five minutes.
Keeping the lower
half of the patient
covered, begin
sponging his arms
and chest. Work your
way to the legs,
keeping the patient
covered with a towel
in the areas you are
70. 70
not bathing. Sponge
the back and
buttocks for ten
minutes. This time is
essential to lowering
the temperature
effectively. Continue
to monitor the
patient's temperature
at intervals
throughout the bath
procedure. Replace
the tepid water if
chilled. If at any time
the patient becomes
chilled and begins
shivering, stop the
bath.
Discontinue the bath
once the temperature
has reached a normal
level. Cover the
patient with the bath
sheet.

XI. Conclusion
Within the span of 2 day of rendering care to our client SAM We are able to identify potential problems of our client and all our Nursing Care Plan met its goals.
With the help of health teachings and other interventions, parents of S. we are able to learn how to recognize signs and symptoms and other risk factors of the
condition of their son. We are also able to know the necessary interventions to our client after the surgery. They also learned how to do simple interventions for the
client’s problems. They had also recognized the importance of compliance to treatment regimen in order to manage the condition of their son.
And at the end of this paper, we the Group 2 of BSN 3D were glad that we acquire the necessary knowledge and important nursing interventions on
our chosen case, Hernia. We are honored to do this study and are also hoping that this study will be used as one of a source for the future student nurses in their case
studies.
