false that would cuase them to drown trying to reacch them
Explanation:
Marasmus is a severe form of malnutrition, usually occurs in children in developing countries, can be life-threatening but can be treated. Preliminary diagnosis of marasmus, as done by the doctor above, is through physical examination. Weight and height of a particular child should be parallel to his/her age. Motion/mobility of the child/patient is also of consideration because those children with marasmus usually have lack energy to move. Blood tests, however, is not definitive because a malnourished child with marasmus wilol usually have many infection, hence, it will all show in his/her blood results. The main symptom of marasmus is being underweight and loss of lot of muscle mass and subcutaneous fats (fat under the skin). It is also accompanied by stunted growth, respiratory infection, chronic diarrhea and intellectual disability. Nutrient deficiency is main cause of marasmus. They are deficient in food rich in vitamins and minerals such as iron, iodine, zinc and Vitamin A. Initial treatment of marasmus is dried skim milk powder mixed with boiled water. Later on, vegetable oil like sesame, casein and sugar can be incorporated to increase energy content and density of the mixture. On his/her way to recovery, a more balanced diet is required. Rehydration through oral hydration is also a priority because of dehydration caused by diarrhea. Infections should also be treated by antibiotics.
Primary intention- wound healing with skin edges that are approximated, risk of infection is low, healing occurs quickly with minimal scar formation as long as infection and secondary breakdown is prevented (similar to a surgical wound)
Most common = Acute wounds; minimal tissue loss = surgical wounds and superficial partial thickness (abrasions/blisters)
Secondary Intention This type of healing is in wounds with extensive tissue loss/infection & wounds in which the edges cannot be approximated (closed). Would is left open and granulation tissue gradually fills in the deficit. Susceptible to infection. Wet to dry dressings. Ex: Pressure Ulcer Associated w/ pathology = diabetes, ischemia, pressure damage in inflammation (Neuropathic, arterial, venous, full thickness, chronic inflammation) Require ongoing wound care - larger scares
Answer:
The answer is: "I realize my infant will require follow-up care until fully grown."
Explanation:
Clubfoot- This is a common congenital birth defect. It is characterized by foot abnormalities in babies wherein their foot or feet are internally rotated at the ankle or looks out of position. <em>This can be correctly easily and in most cases, it doesn't require any surgeries.</em> It also depends on the severity of the condition.
One of the most common non-surgical ways is "casting" and "bracing." This is also known as the <em>Ponseti method.</em> This should be done shortly after birth (1-2 weeks). The bracing will be done once the foot is in correct position.
It is very important to treat the clubfoot condition at an early age. Later stage results to<u><em> inability to walk due to a permanently deformed condition.</em></u>
In the example statement above, the parent says his baby will require follow-up care until fully grown. This is not true and it needs further teaching to the parent about the disorder. As mentioned earlier, Clubfoot can be corrected easily, especially for infants who are 2 weeks old. Thus, once treated, it will not require follow-up care in the future.
