CHAPTER 1 SEMESTER V - ROLE OF PEADIATRIC NURSE.pdfSachin Sharma
Pediatric nurses play a vital role in the health and well-being of children. Their responsibilities are wide-ranging, and their objectives can be categorized into several key areas:
1. Direct Patient Care:
Objective: Provide comprehensive and compassionate care to infants, children, and adolescents in various healthcare settings (hospitals, clinics, etc.).
This includes tasks like:
Monitoring vital signs and physical condition.
Administering medications and treatments.
Performing procedures as directed by doctors.
Assisting with daily living activities (bathing, feeding).
Providing emotional support and pain management.
2. Health Promotion and Education:
Objective: Promote healthy behaviors and educate children, families, and communities about preventive healthcare.
This includes tasks like:
Administering vaccinations.
Providing education on nutrition, hygiene, and development.
Offering breastfeeding and childbirth support.
Counseling families on safety and injury prevention.
3. Collaboration and Advocacy:
Objective: Collaborate effectively with doctors, social workers, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated care for children.
Objective: Advocate for the rights and best interests of their patients, especially when children cannot speak for themselves.
This includes tasks like:
Communicating effectively with healthcare teams.
Identifying and addressing potential risks to child welfare.
Educating families about their child's condition and treatment options.
4. Professional Development and Research:
Objective: Stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in pediatric healthcare through continuing education and research.
Objective: Contribute to improving the quality of care for children by participating in research initiatives.
This includes tasks like:
Attending workshops and conferences on pediatric nursing.

By fulfilling these objectives, pediatric nurses play a crucial role in ensuring the optimal health and well-being of children throughout all stages of their development.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

2. CASE EXAMPLE: Older Men
Julie was a Masters of Social Work student who interned at the Athens
Community Council on Aging (ACCA) for her second year advanced
internship. As part of her internship, she needed to complete a needs
assessment and develop a new program that would benefit and add
value to ACCA’s service delivery. In order to accomplish this task,
she spent numerous hours observing and collecting information about
the programs, events, and opportunities at the Center.
After a few weeks, she came up with her project. She observed that the
men who attended the Center participated in fewer of the activity
sessions and groups than the women. She did some research on older
men and leisure pursuits and determined that older men are more goal
or outcome focused than women. That is, men might be more
interested in a program that has a structured product or process than
women who seemed to be more interested in the experience of the
activity.
3. CASE EXAMPLE: Older Men
For those of you who aren‘t familiar with ACCA, it is located in the site of an old
train depot in Athens. Julie used the historical significance of this site to structure a
reminiscence group for older men. Because of the importance of trains in the life of
this cohort, she used the train station as the topic for the group. The sessions were
held weekly for six weeks, and with a new topic each time. Examples of topics
included: trains as transportation, life in the station, and comings and goings. Julie
would bring in something that related to the topic that week – pictures, or songs
that involved trains (e.g. Chattanooga Choo Choo). She also invited the men to
bring their mementos that linked with the topic.
The outcome of these sessions was very interesting! First, the men were interested
and attendance was good. They seemed to like to share memories around a
structured topic and would bring in old photos. Secondly, the topics provided an
opportunity for deepening relationships. For example, one of the men told a story
about leaving from the train station to go off to World War II as a young soldier –
what it was like to leave home for the war. Another told of his big brother going to
war, and about his feeling of being left at home to work the farm. An African
American man talked about his experience of being in the train station when it was
segregated – and having to sit in the Colored section of the station. An additional
story was about a young boy who came to the “big city of Athens” to see the train
as an outing with his father and how close he felt to his dad on these trips.
4. Case Example Discussion Questions
What are some of the techniques that could be used
to do reminiscence therapy with women at the
center if they are interested in the experience of the
activity?
What are some ways you can use the five senses in
order to work with the women at the center through
reminiscence therapy?
What would be some of the benefits of
reminiscence therapy?
