Infant formula is readily available as ready-to-feed, concentrate, or powder. Parents should exactly follow the manufacturer's recommendations for preparation. Basic guidelines for preparation, safe storage, and handling of formula include: Keep bottles, nipples, caps, and other parts as clean as possible (ie, boil or wash in dishwasher). Wash the tops of formula cans (eg, concentrated formula) with hot water and soap prior to opening to prevent contamination (Option 3). Refrigerate any unused, prepared formula or unused, opened formula (eg, ready-to-feed, concentrated), but use within 48 hours or discard to reduce the risk of bacterial growth (Option 5). Warm bottles in a pan of hot water or under warm tap water for several minutes. Test formula temperature on the inner wrist before serving to the infant (should feel lukewarm, not hot). (Option 1) Never overdilute or overconcentrate formula. Dilution reduces necessary calories, vitamins, and minerals, which hinders growth and development. Overconcentration results in intake of excessive proteins and minerals beyond the excretory ability of the infant's immature kidneys. (Option 2) Never microwave formula as it causes "hot spots" in the milk that can burn the infant's mouth. (Option 4) Any formula in a bottle left over after feeding should be discarded because the infant's saliva has mixed with it, which can foster bacterial growth. Educational objective: Infant formula should never be overdiluted, overconcentrated, or microwaved. Unused, prepared formula should be stored in the refrigerator and, if unused, discarded after 48 hours. Formula left over in a bottle after feeding should be discarded.
SBAR (situation, background, assessment, recommendation/read-back) is an established reporting format used to communicate with the health care provider (HCP). Use of SBAR ensures that the HCP receives the necessary information to make a clinical judgment regarding treatment or need for immediate assessment. In this situation, the client's presentation indicates worsening symptoms that require immediate intervention. The client's lethargy represents a declining level of consciousness. The client also has significantly abnormal vital signs (normal infant pulse rate is 110-160/min, respirations generally around 40/min). These are ominous signs that should be reported immediately (Option 3). (Option 1) Although it is helpful to know that the change is fairly recent, it is most important to report the current concerning change in the client's clinical presentation and vital signs. (Option 2) Abnormal vital signs with a decreased level of consciousness are not improvements; rather, these findings indicate deterioration. (Option 4) It would not be appropriate to assume and treat potential constipation in this client without further assessment and diagnostic procedures. The nurse needs to assess additional aspects, including bowel sounds, abdominal characteristics, and temperature. Vital signs this significantly abnormal would not be caused by constipation. Educational objective: SBAR (situation, background, assessment, recommendation/read-back) is used to transmit complete essential information to the health care provider. Any abnormal vital signs or current deterioration should be communicated immediately.
Intussusception is an obstructive gastrointestinal disorder caused when a segment of the bowel slides, or telescopes, into another section. This typically occurs in infants and children age <6. Once the bowel telescopes in, pressure increases within the bowel, causing ischemia and leakage of blood and mucus into the lumen of the bowel. Classic clinical manifestations of intussusception include episodes of sudden, crampy abdominal pain; a palpable sausage-shaped abdominal mass; and red, "currant jelly" stools (Options 2 and 5). Other manifestations include inconsolable crying with the knees drawn up to the chest and vomiting (Option 4). The child may appear normal and calm between painful episodes. (Options 1 and 3) A palpable, epigastric, olive-shaped mass and nonbilious projectile vomiting (ie, up to 3-4 feet [~1 meter]) are clinical manifestations often seen with pyloric stenosis. Projectile vomiting may also be a symptom of elevated intracranial pressure. However, intussusception typically causes bilious, nonprojectile vomiting and involves a sausage-shaped mass. Educational objective: Classic symptoms of intussusception include sudden, crampy abdominal pain; a palpable sausage-shaped abdominal mass; "currant jelly" stools; inconsolable crying with the knees drawn up to the chest; and bilious, nonprojectile vomiting. An olive-shaped mass is characteristic of pyloric stenosis. Projectile vomiting is frequently associated with pyloric stenosis or increased intracranial pressure.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder involving the cells lining the respiratory, gastrointestinal (GI), and reproductive tracts. A defective protein responsible for transporting sodium and chloride causes secretions in these areas to be thicker and stickier than normal. These abnormal secretions plug smaller airway passages and ducts in the GI tract, which can impair digestive enzymes and result in ineffective absorption of essential nutrients. These sticky respiratory secretions lead to a chronic cough and inability to clear the airway, eventually causing chronic lung disease (bronchiectasis). As a result of these changes, the client's life span is shortened; most affected individuals live only into their 30s. Chest physiotherapy helps remove sticky secretions that cause ineffective airway clearance (Option 2). Aerobic exercise is beneficial to promote removal of airway secretions, improve muscle strength, and increase lung capacity (Option 1). Financial needs must be discussed, as clients with CF have a large financial burden due to health care costs, medications, and special equipment (Option 3). (Option 4) A diet high in fat and calories is recommended due to defective digestive enzymes and impaired nutrient absorption. (Option 5) Fluids are not restricted; liberal intake is recommended to assist in thinning respiratory secretions. Educational objective: Clients with cystic fibrosis should have a diet high in fat and calories to combat nutrient malabsorption. Liberal fluid intake is encouraged to loosen thick secretions. Chest physiotherapy and aerobic exercise are performed to remove airway secretions. Financial needs are addressed as clients have a large financial burden.
