Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention

2.6K
Nursing management of pneumonia involves promoting airway patency, facilitating rest and conserving energy, encouraging fluid intake, maintaining nutrition, and educating patients.
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed....

Parental Care00:55

Parental Care

12.0K
Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

The Mammary Glands

1.3K
The female breast is a hemispheric projection of variable size positioned anterior to the pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscles. A fascia layer composed of dense, irregular connective tissue connects it to these muscles.
Each breast features a pigmented projection known as the nipple, through which milk emerges via closely spaced openings of ducts, referred to as lactiferous ducts. Surrounding the nipple is a circular pigmented area of skin named the areola, which appears rough due to...

Current Trends in Nursing II01:30

Current Trends in Nursing II

1.4K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

12.6K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets

4.2K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Lactation Science

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic led to increased breastfeeding interruption due to concerns about SARS-CoV-2 vertical transmission.
  • This interruption negatively impacts maternal and infant well-being.
  • Evidence-based strategies are needed to support breastfeeding during this period.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review strategies supporting breastfeeding during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • To evaluate the safety of breastfeeding during SARS-CoV-2 infection.
  • To assess the safety of COVID-19 vaccination in lactating mothers.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of existing literature.
  • Analysis of data on breastfeeding cessation rates.
  • Evaluation of studies on SARS-CoV-2 transmission via breastfeeding.
  • Review of safety data for COVID-19 vaccines in lactating individuals.

Main Results:

  • Lack of support has driven breastfeeding cessation globally.
  • Strategies to support breastfeeding mothers during the pandemic have been proposed.
  • The risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission from infected mothers to infants is minimal.
  • COVID-19 vaccination of lactating mothers shows no adverse effects on infants.

Conclusions:

  • Continued breastfeeding is recommended for mothers with SARS-CoV-2 infection if basic hygiene is maintained.
  • Support for breastfeeding mothers during pandemics is crucial.
  • Maternal COVID-19 vaccination may enhance breastfeeding's protective benefits against infections.
