Nursing Interventions and Rationales Refer to care plan for Effective Breastfeeding 1. Assess for presence/absence of related factors or conditions that would preclude breastfeeding. Some conditions (e.g. certain maternal drugs, maternal HIV-positive status, infant galactosemia) may preclude breastfeeding, in which case the infant needs to be started on a safe alternative method of feeding (Riordan, Auerbach, 2000; Lawrence, 2000). 2. Assess breast and nipple structure. Normal nipple and breast structure or early detection and treatment of abnormalities with continuing support are important for successful breastfeeding (Vogel, Hutchison, Mitchell, 1999). 3. Evaluate and record the mother's ability to position, give cues, and help the infant latch on. Correct positioning and getting the infant to latch on is critical for getting breastfeeding off to a good start and contributes to breastfeeding success (Duffy, Percival, Kershaw, 1997; Brandt, Andrews, Kvale, 1998)...

Nursing Diagnosis and Interventions for Malaria Hyperthermia related to dehydration increased metabolism, direct effects of circulating germs in the hypothalamus. Nursing Intervention: 1. Monitor the patient's temperature (degrees and patterns), note the chills. Rational: hyperthermia showed an acute infectious disease process. Pattern suggests the diagnosis of malaria fever. 2. Monitor the temperature of the environment. Rational: indoor temperature / number of blankets to be changed to maintain near-normal temperatures. 3. Give warm compresses bath, avoid the use of alcohol. Rational: to help reduce the fever, the use of ice / alcohol may cause freezing. Addition of alcohol can also cause dry skin. 4. Give antipyretic drugs. Rational: is used to reduce fever with central action on the hypothalamus. 5. Give a cooling blanket. Rationale: This blanket is used to reduce fever with hyperthermia.

A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells within the brain, which can be cancerous or non-cancerous (benign). Brain tumors can be grouped by the type of cell involved (such as meningioma, astrocytoma, lymphoma, etc.) or by the location in the brain. Metastasized cells may grow in one or several areas of the brain. Almost half of all brain tumors are non-cancerous (benign), slow growing and respond well to treatment. A primary malignant brain tumour is a cancer which arises from a cell within the brain. The cells of the tumour grow into and damage normal brain tissue. Also, like benign brain tumours, they can increase the pressure inside the skull. However, unlike most other types of malignant tumours, primary brain tumours rarely spread (metastasise) to other parts of the body. A secondary malignant brain tumour means that a cancer which started in another part of the body has spread to the brain. Many types of cancer can spread (metastasise) to the brain. The most...

Nursing Diagnosis for Diabetes Mellitus : Fatigue related to : Increased energy demands: hypermetabolic state/infection Altered body chemistry: insufficient insulin Decreased metabolic energy production Evidenced by : Impaired ability to concentrate, listlessness, disinterest in surroundings Overwhelming lack of energy, inability to maintain usual routines, decreased performance, accident-prone.

Many factors are thought to play a role in getting Graves' disease. These might include: Genes. Some people are prone to Graves' disease because of their genes. Researchers are working to find the gene or genes involved. Gender. Sex hormones might play a role, and might explain why Graves' disease affects more women than men. Stress. Severe emotional stress or trauma might trigger the onset of Graves' disease in people who are prone to getting it. Pregnancy. Pregnancy affects the thyroid. As many as 30 percent of young women who get Graves' disease have been pregnant in the 12 months prior to the onset of symptoms. This suggests that pregnancy might trigger Graves' disease in some women. Infection. Infection might play a role in the onset of Graves' disease, but no studies have shown infection to directly cause Graves' disease. Graves disease is an autoimmune disorder that leads to overactivity of the thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism). The ...
