Answer: Monitoring for any change in color and edema at the injury site
Health education on self care of the colostomy
Fluid resuscitation (may also be considered medical care)
Patient diet should be monitored as patient should be on a liquid diet.
Explanation:
1) we are monitoring for any change in color at the site of injury, because of infection. If there is infection there is likely to be change in color of injury site.
Edema is a swelling, If there is a swelling at the injury site post operation, then it means something is wrong.
We then act because we don’t want sepsis to set in.
Fluid resuscitation because it is likely that patient becomes dehydrated post operation.
Also Patient’s diet is monitored because of the surgery we don’t want patient to be taking solid food so as to prevent an irritation of the gastrointestinal tract.
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.
