Liceo de Cagayan University College Of Nursing NCM501-205  Related Learning Experience Case Presentation Bronchial Asthma in Acute Exacerbation January 26, 2011 Group B6 Clinical Instructor Mr. Andy Roy Salabas RN, MN
Overview of the Case 	Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs usually caused by infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi or other organism. Pneumonitis is a more general term that describes an inflammatory process in the lung tissue that may predispose a patient to or a place at risk of microbial invasion. Spread by infected respiratory droplets thru person-person contact. According to UNICEF, Pneumonia rank as the number 5 top most leading cause of death in the Philippines and it comprises 1, 521, 912 persons being  affected.(www.UNICEF.org-infobycountry-Philippines) 	Pneumonia is a particular concern for older adults and people with chronic illnesses or impaired immune systems, but it also can strike young, healthy people. Worldwide, it's a leading cause of death in children, many of them younger than a year old.
	There are more than 50 kinds of pneumonia ranging in seriousness from mild to life-threatening. Although signs and symptoms vary, many cases of pneumonia develop suddenly, with chest pain, fever, chills, cough and shortness of breath. Infection often follows a cold or the flu, but it also can be associated with other illnesses or occur on its own. 	We choose patient X our client because the other patients we chose for this study unfortunately died and the group didn’t give care to the patient for the first choice due to her few days of staying.
Objective of the Study 	The objective of the study is to bestow quality-nursing care to assigned patient, utilizing the knowledge based on the nursing process and critical thinking skills. This care study aims to guide the student nurses in providing client-centered nursing care while applying critical thinking in all phases of nursing care   from assessment to evaluation. 	Also, awareness and knowledge of the patient’s disease condition and its corresponding pathophysiology is vital in providing suitable intervention to the client.                      Thus, with accurate application of physical assessment, actual and potential health problems are being detected and resolved through the nursing care plan.
After completing the care for the patient with Pneumonia the student nurses will be able to: ,[object Object]
Obtain a complete health data that can be used in the follow-up care.
Impart health teachings about necessary information pertaining to the disease condition.
Understand the course and essence of the chosen care study.
Add up additional knowledge and understanding in the Nursing profession,[object Object]

DEVELOPMENTAL DATA A.ErikErikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory   Erik Erickson envisioned life as a sequence of levels of achievement.  Each stage signals a task that must be achieved. He believed that the greater that task achievement, the healthier the personality of the person.  Failure to achieve a task influences the person’s ability to achieve the next task. Stages of Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory are as follows:	  Infancy		Birth – 18 months		Trust vs. Mistrust Early Childhood	18 months – 3 years	Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt  Late Childhood	3 – 5 years		Initiative vs. Guilt School Age	6 – 12 years		Industry vs. Inferiority Adolescence	12 – 20 years		Identity vs. Role Confusion Young Adulthood18 – 25 years		Intimacy vs. Isolation Adulthood	25 – 65 years		Generativityvs. Stagnation Maturity	65 years to death		Integrity vs. Despair
	Basing on this theory, our patient belongs to maturity. The development task at this time is ego integrity versus despair. People who attain ego integrity view life with a sense of wholeness and derive satisfaction from past accomplishments. They view death as an acceptable completion of life. According to Erikson (1963), people who develop integrity accept “one’s one and only life cycle”. By contrast, people who despair often believe they have made poor choices during life and wish they could live life over.
B.SigmundFreud’s Psychosexual Development Theory 	The psychosexual stages of Sigmund Freud are five different developmental periods during which the individual seeks pleasure from different areas of the body associated with sexual feelings.  	Our patient falls under Genital Stage of Freud’s theory. It is the fifth and last stage of psychosexual development, the genital stage, from puberty onwards. It actually continues until development stops. This stage represents the major portion of life, and the basic task for the individual is the detachment from the parents. It is also the time when the individual tries to come in terms with unresolved residues of the early childhood. These stages are as follows: Oral				Birth to 1 yearAnal				2 – 3 yearsPhallic				4 – 5 yearsLatency			 	6 – 12 yearsGenital				13 – Up
C.RobertHavighurst’s Developmental Task Theory 	A developmental task is a task which arises at or about a certain period in the life of an individual. Havighurst has identified six major age periods: infancy and early childhood (0-5 years), middle childhood (6-12 years), adolescence (13-18 years), early adulthood (19-29 years), middle adulthood (30-60 years), and later maturity (61+).  Basing on Havighurst’s Theory, our patient belongs in the later maturity stage.
D. Jean Piaget’s Cognitive Theory of Development 	Cognitive development refers to how a person perceives, thinks, and gains understanding of his or her world through the interaction and influence of genetic and learning factors. This is divided into five major phases: Sensorimotor Phase			Birth to 2 yearsPre-conceptual Phase			2 – 3 yearsIntuitive Thought Phase			4 – 6 yearsConcrete Operations Phase			7 – 11 yearsFormal Operational Phase			12 – adulthood
	Basing on this theory, our patient belongs to the Formal operational stage. Changes in the cognitive structures occur as a person ages. It is believed that progressive loss of neurons occurs, decreased of blood flow in the brain, the meninges appear to thicken, and brain metabolism slows. In older adults, changes in cognitive abilities are more often a difference in speed than in ability.  	Overall the older adult maintains intelligence, problem solving, judgment, creativity, and other well – practiced cognitive skills. Intellectual loss generally reflects a disease process such as atherosclerosis, which causes the blood vessels to narrow and diminishes perfusion of nutrients to the brain. Most older adults do not experience cognitive impairments.
	Older people need additional time for learning, largely because of the problem of retrieving information. Motivation is also important. It is suggested that the older person should remain mentally active to maintain cognitive ability at the highest possible level. Lifelong mental activity, particularly verbal activity, helps the older person retain a high level of cognitive function and may help maintain long-term memory. Cognitive impairment that interferes with normal life is not considered part of normal aging.
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT  A. Medical Orders with Rationale
DIAGNOSTICS AND LABORATORY
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 	The respiratory system is an integrated network of organs and tubes that coordinates the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and its environment. Harmony is seen in the fact that the respiratory system in animals involves the consumption of oxygen and contribution of carbon dioxide to the environment, while in plants the respiratory system involves the consumption of carbon dioxide and contribution of oxygen to the environment.  In humans, air enters the nose or mouth and travels down different tubes to the lungs, where gas exchange takes place. The diaphragm pulls air in and pushes it out. However, there are many different respiratory systems found across various organisms, including amphibians, many of which can breathe through their skin.
	In mammals, including humans, the respiratory system begins with the nose and mouth; air enters the oral and nasal cavities, which combine to form the pharynx, which becomes the trachea. Air then travels down the various tubes to the lungs. Respiratory muscles mediate the movement of air into and out of the body. The alveolar system of the lungs functions in the passive exchange of molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide, by diffusion, between the gaseous environment and the blood.  	Thus, the respiratory system facilitates oxygenation of the blood with a concomitant removal of carbon dioxide and other gaseous metabolic wastes from the circulation. The system also helps to maintain the acid-base balance of the body through the efficient removal of carbon dioxide from the blood.
Anatomy In humans and other mammals, the respiratory system can be conveniently divided into an upper respiratory tract (or "conducting zone") and a lower respiratory tract ("respiratory zone").  Air entering the nose moves through the body in  the following order:  ,[object Object]
Nasal cavity
Pharynx (naso-, oro-, laryngo-)
Larynx (voice box)
Trachea (wind pipe)
Thoracic cavity (chest)
Bronchi (right and left)
Alveoli (site of gas exchange) ,[object Object]
Lower respiratory tract/respiratory zone 	The trachea leads down to the chest, where it divides into the right and left "main stem" bronchi. The subdivisions of the bronchus are: Primary, secondary, and tertiary divisions (first, second, and third levels). In total, the bronchi divide 16 times into even smaller bronchioles.  The bronchioles lead to the respiratory zone of the lungs, which consists of respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and the alveoli, the multi-lobulated sacs in which most of the gas exchange occurs.
Physiology: Ventilation Ventilation of the lungs in humans is carried out by the muscles of respiration, which include intercostal muscles.  Control Ventilation is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The breathing regulatory center is in the medulla oblongata and the pons, parts of the brain stem containing a series of interconnected neurons that coordinate respiratory movements. The sections are the pneumotaxic center, the apneustic center, and the dorsal and ventral respiratory groups (CRISP 2007). This section of the brain is especially sensitive during infancy, and the neurons can be destroyed if the infant is dropped or shaken violently. The result can be early death due to "shaken baby syndrome" (SIPH 2006).
Inhalation Inhalation is driven primarily by the diaphragm with help from the intercostal muscles. When the diaphragm contracts, the ribcage expands and the contents of the abdomen are moved downward. The expansion of the ribs results in a greater chest volume, which in turn causes a decrease in intrathoracic pressure, according to Boyle’s Law. When the pressure inside the lungs is lower than the atmospheric pressure outside the body, air moves into the respiratory tract in an attempt to equalize the pressures.  At rest, normal respiration is about 10 to 18 breaths per minute, with each inhalation lasting about 2 seconds. Rates of breathing can increase during exercise, fever, or illness. During vigorous inhalation (at rates exceeding 35 breaths per minute), or when approaching respiratory failure, other accessory muscles are recruited for support.  During forced inhalation, as when taking a deep breath, the external intercostal muscles and accessory muscles further expand the thoracic cavity and more air moves into the lungs at a greater velocity.
Exhalation Exhalation is generally a passive process, however, active, or "forced," exhalation can be achieved with the help of the abdominal and the internal intercostal muscles.  The lungs have a natural elasticity; following the stretch of an inhalation, the lungs recoil and air flows back out until the pressures in the chest and the atmosphere reach equilibrium. The flow of air during exhalation can be compared to that of an inflated but released balloon recoiling to force air out. At the end of both inhalation and exhalation, the pressure in the lungs equals that of the atmosphere.  During forced exhalation, as when blowing out a candle, the abdominal muscles and internal intercostal muscles generate extra abdominal and thoracic pressure, which forces air out of the lungs with greater volume and with greater velocity.
Gas exchange The major function of the respiratory system is gas exchange. As gas exchange occurs in humans, the acid-base balance of the body is maintained as a component of homeostasis. In the absence of proper ventilation, two conditions could occur: 1)respiratory acidosis, a life threatening condition caused by a deficiency of ventilation, or 2)respiratory alkalosis, caused by an excess of ventilation, or hyperventilation.  The actual gas exchange occurs at the alveoli, the basic functional component of the lungs. The alveolar walls are extremely thin (approx. 0.2 micrometers), and are permeable to gases. Pulmonary capillaries line the alveoli; the walls of these capillaries are also thin enough to permit gas exchange.

  • 20. Basing on this theory, our patient belongs to the Formal operational stage. Changes in the cognitive structures occur as a person ages. It is believed that progressive loss of neurons occurs, decreased of blood flow in the brain, the meninges appear to thicken, and brain metabolism slows. In older adults, changes in cognitive abilities are more often a difference in speed than in ability. Overall the older adult maintains intelligence, problem solving, judgment, creativity, and other well – practiced cognitive skills. Intellectual loss generally reflects a disease process such as atherosclerosis, which causes the blood vessels to narrow and diminishes perfusion of nutrients to the brain. Most older adults do not experience cognitive impairments.
  • 21. Older people need additional time for learning, largely because of the problem of retrieving information. Motivation is also important. It is suggested that the older person should remain mentally active to maintain cognitive ability at the highest possible level. Lifelong mental activity, particularly verbal activity, helps the older person retain a high level of cognitive function and may help maintain long-term memory. Cognitive impairment that interferes with normal life is not considered part of normal aging.

  • 35. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY The respiratory system is an integrated network of organs and tubes that coordinates the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and its environment. Harmony is seen in the fact that the respiratory system in animals involves the consumption of oxygen and contribution of carbon dioxide to the environment, while in plants the respiratory system involves the consumption of carbon dioxide and contribution of oxygen to the environment. In humans, air enters the nose or mouth and travels down different tubes to the lungs, where gas exchange takes place. The diaphragm pulls air in and pushes it out. However, there are many different respiratory systems found across various organisms, including amphibians, many of which can breathe through their skin.
  • 36. In mammals, including humans, the respiratory system begins with the nose and mouth; air enters the oral and nasal cavities, which combine to form the pharynx, which becomes the trachea. Air then travels down the various tubes to the lungs. Respiratory muscles mediate the movement of air into and out of the body. The alveolar system of the lungs functions in the passive exchange of molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide, by diffusion, between the gaseous environment and the blood. Thus, the respiratory system facilitates oxygenation of the blood with a concomitant removal of carbon dioxide and other gaseous metabolic wastes from the circulation. The system also helps to maintain the acid-base balance of the body through the efficient removal of carbon dioxide from the blood.

  • 45. Lower respiratory tract/respiratory zone The trachea leads down to the chest, where it divides into the right and left "main stem" bronchi. The subdivisions of the bronchus are: Primary, secondary, and tertiary divisions (first, second, and third levels). In total, the bronchi divide 16 times into even smaller bronchioles. The bronchioles lead to the respiratory zone of the lungs, which consists of respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and the alveoli, the multi-lobulated sacs in which most of the gas exchange occurs.
  • 46. Physiology: Ventilation Ventilation of the lungs in humans is carried out by the muscles of respiration, which include intercostal muscles. Control Ventilation is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The breathing regulatory center is in the medulla oblongata and the pons, parts of the brain stem containing a series of interconnected neurons that coordinate respiratory movements. The sections are the pneumotaxic center, the apneustic center, and the dorsal and ventral respiratory groups (CRISP 2007). This section of the brain is especially sensitive during infancy, and the neurons can be destroyed if the infant is dropped or shaken violently. The result can be early death due to "shaken baby syndrome" (SIPH 2006).
  • 47. Inhalation Inhalation is driven primarily by the diaphragm with help from the intercostal muscles. When the diaphragm contracts, the ribcage expands and the contents of the abdomen are moved downward. The expansion of the ribs results in a greater chest volume, which in turn causes a decrease in intrathoracic pressure, according to Boyle’s Law. When the pressure inside the lungs is lower than the atmospheric pressure outside the body, air moves into the respiratory tract in an attempt to equalize the pressures. At rest, normal respiration is about 10 to 18 breaths per minute, with each inhalation lasting about 2 seconds. Rates of breathing can increase during exercise, fever, or illness. During vigorous inhalation (at rates exceeding 35 breaths per minute), or when approaching respiratory failure, other accessory muscles are recruited for support. During forced inhalation, as when taking a deep breath, the external intercostal muscles and accessory muscles further expand the thoracic cavity and more air moves into the lungs at a greater velocity.
  • 48. Exhalation Exhalation is generally a passive process, however, active, or "forced," exhalation can be achieved with the help of the abdominal and the internal intercostal muscles. The lungs have a natural elasticity; following the stretch of an inhalation, the lungs recoil and air flows back out until the pressures in the chest and the atmosphere reach equilibrium. The flow of air during exhalation can be compared to that of an inflated but released balloon recoiling to force air out. At the end of both inhalation and exhalation, the pressure in the lungs equals that of the atmosphere. During forced exhalation, as when blowing out a candle, the abdominal muscles and internal intercostal muscles generate extra abdominal and thoracic pressure, which forces air out of the lungs with greater volume and with greater velocity.
  • 49. Gas exchange The major function of the respiratory system is gas exchange. As gas exchange occurs in humans, the acid-base balance of the body is maintained as a component of homeostasis. In the absence of proper ventilation, two conditions could occur: 1)respiratory acidosis, a life threatening condition caused by a deficiency of ventilation, or 2)respiratory alkalosis, caused by an excess of ventilation, or hyperventilation. The actual gas exchange occurs at the alveoli, the basic functional component of the lungs. The alveolar walls are extremely thin (approx. 0.2 micrometers), and are permeable to gases. Pulmonary capillaries line the alveoli; the walls of these capillaries are also thin enough to permit gas exchange.

REFERRALS AND FOLLOW-UP Our further Inpatient care includes monitoring of changes in vital signs, assessment of effectiveness of treatment regimen, reinforcement of dietary advice, facilitate deep breathing exercise while in sitting position, cough effectively, practice energy-saving techniques and do simple activity with rest. Provide ongoing education and reinforcement while monitoring the patient’s progress. Our further Outpatient care includes instructions of our patient’s dietary modification, compliance with treatment regimen, and patient’s participation through reporting of adverse effects of medications to his physician. The patient as well as its significant others was also instructed to have a regular check-up at the nearest hospital in their place in order to monitor his current condition.
  • 91. EVALUATION AND IMPLICATION Within the span of 4 days of rendering care to our patient we were able to identify potential problems and a specific nursing intervention was provided. With the help of our health teachings and other interventions, our patient as well as to his significant others were able to learn how to recognize signs and symptoms and other risk factors of his condition. Significant others were able to verbalize the importance of avoiding too much exposure to environmental allergens, restricting too much salt in his diet and were encouraged to increase fluid consumption of their family member. They had also recognized the importance of compliance to treatment regimen in order to manage his condition. Significant others were able to learn and verbalized some concerns regarding to the condition of the patient. They were now knowledgeable and are able to comprehend better.
  • 93.   Knowledge of disease conditions The patient doesn’t have enough knowledge regarding his condition and its possible complication Extent of disease Complications would greatly arise if medication and care would have pitfalls. And also, the willingness of the patient to participate in the treatment regimen would greatly help to improve his well being. Availability of medications The availability of medications was good because they can provide and respond to the prescription of the physician. Attitude and willingness to take the medications and follow treatment regimen The patient takes all his medications and follows all treatment regimens given to him.
  • 94. Family support Family support was good because significant others were there to care and assist him in the hospital. Financial support Financial support was good because the family can afford since some of his siblings were financially able and her nephews were employees. Family history The present condition of the patient is not influence by heteredo-familial disease.
