Tracheoesophageal fistula - ANSWER- Manifestations include excessive salivation and

drooling. The child has difficulty managing the secretions causing choking, coughing, and

cyanosis. Nsg interventions surround prevention of aspiration. Treated with surgery


Intussusception - ANSWER- Passage of a normal stool indicates resolution. Notification of the

physician is essential to determine whether a change in treatment plan is indicated.


Celiac disease - ANSWER- Characterized by intolerance to gluten, the protein found in wheat,

barley, rye, and oats. A low-gluten diet is indicated. Manifestations include irritability, poor

appetite and growth, and foul-smelling stools.


Peptic ulcer - ANSWER- Treated with proton pump inhibitors, which block the production of

acid. They are well tolerated and have infrequent side effects. Eliminate nsaids, cigarettes, and

to 1.022. Protein and glucose should be absent.


Vesicoureteral reflux - ANSWER- Allows urine flow to be forced back to the kidneys. When

the urine is infected, this contributes to kidney infections.

Hypertension results from the cycle of infection/inflammation/scarring/decreased perfusion.

Renin-angiotensin is released, which ultimately elevates blood pressure.

,Treat with antibiotics or surgery in grades IV-V. Management may take years.


Nephrotic syndrome - ANSWER- Inflammatory disease: Glomerulus becomes inflamed and

allows molecules to pass

Most common in 2–6-year-olds

Characterized by: Proteinuria (frothy urine), Hypoalbuminemia, Edema

Hypoalbuminemia is a result of the large amounts of protein that leak through the glomerular

membrane into the urine. Measuring weight at the same time each day is the most accurate way to

determine fluid gains and losses. The child will have a variable level of tolerance for activity. This

will also be affected by the labile moods associated with steroid administration. The nurse should

assist the family in adjusting activities for the child.

Tx: Prednisone, diuretics, albumin, low salt diet, ensure position changes, monitor for fever, cough,

and abdominal pain.


Acute glomerulonephritis - ANSWER- Immune reaction to group A beta-hemolytic

6 weeks after skin infection.

tea- or cola-colored urine, Hypertension, periorbital edema

after surgery to allow healing (stents or catheters).

Surgery goal: make urinary and sexual function as

Normal as possible/improve the cosmetic appearance of the penis. Monitor for urine cloudiness or

odor.

side of the penile shaft; less common than hypospadias. Surgery is done early to promote healthy

body image. Usually done between 6 and 12 months of age. No circumcision until after surgery.

Urinary diversion is used after surgery to allow healing (stents or catheters).
