Risk for Infection related to Hypospadias (NCP)

Hypospadias is a congenital condition where the opening of the urethra is located on the underside of the penis instead of at the tip. This condition occurs during fetal development when the urethral folds fail to close completely during the formation of the penis. Here's a breakdown of hypospadias:
 

Types:

  • Distal Hypospadias: The urethral opening is located near the tip of the penis.
  • Midshaft Hypospadias: The urethral opening is along the shaft of the penis.
  • Proximal Hypospadias: The urethral opening is near the base of the penis or within the scrotum.


Causes:

The exact cause of hypospadias is not always clear, but it may involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors, including:

  • Hormonal Factors: Changes in hormone levels during fetal development may contribute to abnormal formation of the urethra.
  • Genetics: There may be a genetic component, as hypospadias can sometimes run in families.
  • Environmental Factors: Exposure to certain chemicals or medications during pregnancy may increase the risk of hypospadias.


Symptoms:

  • Abnormal Urinary Stream: The direction of the urinary stream may be abnormal due to the location of the urethral opening.
  • Penile Curvature: In some cases, the penis may have a downward curve, known as chordee.
  • Undescended Testicle: Some babies with hypospadias may also have undescended testicles.


Risk for Infection

Definition:
The increase in the risk of being attacked by disease organisms.

Nursing Care Plan Risk for Infection related to Hypospadias
Defining characteristics:
  • Chronic disease.
  • Inadequate immunity.
  • The main defense inadequate (eg, skin damage, tissue injury, a reduction in the action, a change in the secretion of PH, change the peristaltic motion).
  • The second defense inadequate (reduced hemoglobin, leukopenia, response to press something that causes inflammation).
  • Added the opening of the environment on the pathogen.
  • Pharmaceutical agents (ex: substances that inhibit the immune response).
  • Amniotic membrane rupture prematurely.
  • Extend split on amniotic membrane.
  • Trauma / seriously injured.
  • Tissue destruction.

NOC
  • Immune status.
  • Infection control.

Goal:
After nursing action for 2x24 hours the client is able to:
1. Shows the immune status, with indicators:
  • The absence of recurrent infections,
  • The absence of a tumor,
  • Skin test reaction to the opening match,
  • Solute in antibody levels in the normal range.
2. Shows the infection control, inter alia, the indicators:
  • Describe the transmission mode,
  • Describe factors that accompany the transmission,
  • Describe the signs and symptoms,
  • Describe the activities increase resistance to infection.

NIC

Infection Control
  • Limit the number of visitors.
  • Use anti-microbial soap to wash hands properly.
  • Wash hands before and after patient care.
  • Use the general rule.
  • Use clean gloves.
  • Keep the environment in order to remain sterile for insertion in bed.
  • Keep sterile environment to stay when changing channels.
  • Close / maintain the confidentiality of the system when performing invasive hemodynamic examination.
  • Change peripheral IV and cuddled by the CDC guidance.
  • Make sure the sterile state, while doing IV.
  • Proper nutrition intake.
  • Increase fluid intake right.
  • Perform appropriate antibiotic therapy.

Health Education
  • Teach wash hands to improve personal health.
  • Teach proper handwashing techniques.
  • Teach patients and families about the signs and symptoms of infection and when to report on the health care team.
  • Teach patients to take antibiotics as prescribed.

Imperforate Anus - 3 Nursing Diagnosis and Treatment

Imperforate anus of anorectal malformations (ARMs) is congenital defect in which the opening to the anus is missing or blocked. The cause of anorectal malformations is unknown, the genetic basis of these anomalies is very complex because of their anatomical variability, in an 8% of patients genetic factors are clearly associated with ARMs. Imperforate anus occurs in about one of every 5,000 newborns. It is somewhat more common in boys than girls. If the anus is missing, there is no outlet to release stool after birth. The intestine ends in a blind pouch, so your infant's stool, called meconium, remains in the intestine. Treatmentof Imperforate Anus Imperforate anus usually requires immediate surgery to open a passage for feces unless a fistula can be relied on until corrective surgery takes place. Depending on the severity of the imperforate, it is treated either with a perineal anoplasty or with a colostomy. The infant is allowed to develop for several months before mo...

Nursing Care Plan for Osteomalacia (Diagnosis and Interventions)

Definition of Osteomalacia Osteomalacia is a metabolic bone disease characterized by a lack of bone mineral (resembles a disease that strikes children, called rickets) in adults, osteomalacia include chronic and skeletal deformities, there was not as severe as that affects children as in adults bone growth is complete.
