2 What is a family? Every discipline has a definition Biological – perpetuation of the species Psychology – Responsibility for personality development Economics – Productive unit providing for material needs Sociology – Social unit that reacts with larger society

3 A family is a group of people living together or in close contact, who take care of one another and provide guidance for the dependent members. Family is whatever/whoever the client considers it to be.

13 Objective Developmental Milestones – Denver Development II Test Anthropometric Measurements – Growth Charts Vital Signs

14 Objective Psychosocial development Erickson’s Theory Temperament Age related variations in PA

15 Stages of Growth and Development Newborn/Infant (birth to 12 months) Toddlerhood (1 to 3 years) Early Childhood (Preschool) – (3 to 6 years) School-Age Child (6-12 years) Adolescence (12 to 19 years)

16 Developmental Assessment DDST –II identifies developmental age – Evaluates 4 areas: – 1. Personal-Social – 2. Fine motor – 3. Language – 4. Gross motor

17 Anthropometric Measurements – Length – Weight – BMI – HC – Skinfold thickness Measurements

18 Vital Signs Temperature Pulse Respirations Blood Pressure

19 Psychosocial Development (Erikson’s) Trust vs Mistrust Autonomy vs Shame and Doubt Initiative vs Guilt Industry vs Inferiority Identity vs Role Confusion

22 Overall Assessment Establish a relationship with the family Ask Questions Comprehensive Health History – Family Medical and Social History – PMH – Immunizations – Developmental milestones – ADL – ROS

23 Physical Assessment Use all of your senses Observation skills Smell Touch

24 Physical Assessment General ImpressionEar AssessmentCardiac Assessment Skin AssessmentNose/Sinus AssessmentAbdominal Assessment Head AssessmentThroat/Mouth AssessmentGU/GI Assessment Neck AssessmentChest AssessmentMusculoskeletal Assessment Eye AssessmentLung AssessmentNeuro Assessment

25 General Principles Never lie to a child Engage their help Let them touch and feel Treat assessments like games If it’s going to hurt tell them

26 Health Promotion Infant and Child – Nutrition – Dental – Sleep & Rest – Immunizations – Health Screenings Lead Poisoning

27 Health Promotion – Infant/Child Nutrition Breast or bottle Whole milk at 1 yr Solids at least 4 months Finger foods 8 to 12 months Begin to use spoon – 1 yr to 18 months Age 3 – Food Pyramid for Kids

28 Teething Drooling Irritability Chewing on objects Crying episodes Disrupted sleep and eating patterns

29 Sleep & Rest Newborns Infants Toddlers/Preschool School-age

30 Health Promotion – Infant/Child Social Aspects of Play Solitary Play Onlooker Play Parallel Play Associative play Cooperative play

31 Health Promotion Adolescent – Nutrition Obesity Dental Care Sleep & Rest Eating disorders – Anorexia Nervosa – Bulimia Nervosa

32 Parenting Styles 1.Dictatorial 2.Permissive or laissez faire 3.Democratic

33 Misbehavior Stretches the limits Minor consequences Major consequences

34 Types of Discipline Redirection Reasoning Time Out Consequences Behavior Modification Corporal Punishment

35 Discipline – Newborn/Infant Discipline = teaching Helps with overall function as an individual Limit setting Personal childrearing practice Expectations for each developmental stage

36 Discipline - Toddler Teaches socialization & safety Firm structure with safe limits Be flexible with limits Concrete vs realistic Can do ≠ wants to do PRAISE!!

37 Discipline – Early Childhood (Preschool) Actions have consequences Explain rules beforehand Consequences = behavior being punished Time-out Charts, stickers, stars = encourage good behavior (rewards) Helps regulate own behavior

38 Discipline – School-Age Internalize rules More independent = natural consequence for behaviors Not “rescuing” from consequences Not all understand responsibility or ignore consequences Timeout or grounding

39 Discipline - Adolescence Internalize responsibility Needs parental support for rules Monitor own actions through critical thinking Positive behaviors should be the focus Remove privileges

40 Verbal Communication Language and vocalizations May be used to distort reality –Avoidance language –Distancing language

41 Non-verbal Communication Pitch, pause, rate, volume of speech Children understand tone and pitch before meaning Children are sensitive to non-verbal cues

43 Communication Development and the Infant (0-1 yr) Cry, babble, coo Single words, name an object Dependent on others Respond to environmental stimuli Distinguish between sounds Beginning of separation anxiety Interactions very reflexive 1-2 min attention span

44 Communication Development and the Toddler (1-3yr) Two words –“I do” “I want” Turn taking in communication “No”; uses gestures Strong need for security Separation anxiety peaks Parallel play Needs routine Independence, but dependent Explores Cause and Effect 3-5 min attention span

45 Communication Development and the Preschooler (3-6yr) Egocentric Concrete thinkers still Speak in full sentences “WHY” Stutters Attention seeking behavior Cooperation developing Set limits and boundaries Developing concept of time 5-10 attention span

46 Communication Development and School age (6-12 yr) “WHY” changes to “HOW” Recognizes consequences for actions Memory development Increase langauge Still somewhat concrete thinkers Logical thinking = solve problems Metacognition Aware of own thinking leads to critical thinking

47 Communication Development for Adolescents (12-19 yr) Adult concepts Make plans/sets goals Competitive Group identity Close friends Questions authority Needs for privacy Logic to solve problems Speak/write correctly Communication skills

48 Communicating with Children with Special Needs In working with children with special needs, the nurse must carefully assess each child’s physical, mental, and developmental abilities and determine the most effective methods of communication.

49 Common Stressors During Hospitalization Separation anxiety Loss of control Bodily injury & pain

50 Separation anxiety Toddlers – cling to parents, beg them to stay, may be angry at mom if she leaves and father stays Intervention – encourage parents to stay, cot in room, bring objects from home (cup, bottle, toy, blanket); if parent cannot stay the nurse becomes caregiver…build trust

51 Separation anxiety Preschool- usually not quite as intense in reactions; do not label a child as “spoiled or a brat” – these are normal stress responses Intervention – same as toddler

52 Separation anxiety Schoolage- usually handle separation well, sometimes you have those who don’t cope well –they may not ask for help, may not express feelings Intervention - familiar objects from home (pictures, radio, game-boy, pjs; look at child as an individual; provide continuity of care

53 Separation anxiety Adolescent: geared more towards separation form peers and usual activities; loneliness, boredom, depression, can act against the nurse (sometimes a challenge to care for) Intervention – provide association with peers, use of phone, be a little more relaxed with rules

54 Loss of control Toddlers – autonomy vs shame and doubt; can temper tantrums – ask them to lie down –IV lines are always a challenge they don’t like them “in” –Do not like change in routine –Interventions- good admission assessment will help find rituals & routine; bring favorite items from home including food if diet allows –Forced dependency b/c of hospital routine – let child make decisions when possible (games, drinks)

55 Loss of control Preschooler – magical thinking! Fantasy, superheroes, exaggerates what is to happen or what is really happening -initiative vs guilt – view the hospital as punishment “take me home, I’ll be good” Interventions- allow them to make decisions; explain EVERYTHING do not use threatening words

56 Loss of control School age- industry vs inferiority; very vulnerable to loss of control they feel they need to be productive Intervention – participate in care as much as possible, allow them to make decisions, explain things in advance, allow for questions

57 Loss of control Adolescents – anything that threatens their identity – identity vs role confusion Intervention – explain procedures, tiem to prepare themselves, know what their present needs are
