On The Visit

• Patho-physiologyWhat is an abscess? An abscess results from pus gathering in a tissue

of the body that has formed a cavity due to an infection.

How does it start/form?A series of immune responses beginning with

the migration of white blood cells to the infection and the separation of a fluid-filled cavity from the surrounding, healthy tissue.

On The Visit

• Patho-physiologyWhy? Immune system compensates creating the pus that

forms the abscessWhat is the pus? Mixture of dead cells and the chemical mediators

of immune response, fills the area around the site, which is separated from healthy tissue by the formation of an abscess wall.

On The Visit

• Treatment plan Antibiotic Clindamycin to treat infection and

surgery to remove the puss (incision and drainage)

• There is no secondary diagnosis

Sanjari, M. (2009). Nursing Support for Parents of Hospitalized Children. Issues In Comprehensive Pediatric Nursing, 32(3), 120-130.


CHILDREN

They were notified of what was going on and wanted to sign. Eliminated if they could not speak Farsi.



CHILDREN

Tool: The NPST is a 21-item questionnaire that was developed by Miles, Brunssen, & Carlson to assess the type of nursing support thatparents received during the hospitalization of their child.The tool is classified into groups : Information Giving and Communication Support (nine items); Emotional Support (three items); Appraisal Support (four items) and Instrumental Support (five items). Scores range from 1 to 5 with higher scores showing a greater amount of support provided by the nursing staff.



CHILDREN

Discussion/Result: Based on the results, it can be said that the parents in this study received a high level of support (4.1 ± 0.7) from the nurses.


ResearchHow does this relate to my patient?

Nurses have an important role in assisting parents todefine their role in the relationship between them and their critically ill child.

A child is in the care of the parent, once the parent is reached, care of the child may be easier.
