PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION – Purpose of Physical Examination, Techniques of Physical Examination, Guidelines of Physical Examination, Equipment Needed and Measuring of Vital Signs in Children (CHILD HEALTH NURSING)

Physical examination is a skill used by nurses to examine and monitor sick children, undertake diagnostic investigation and provide therapeutic interventions

PURPOSE OF EXAMINATION

  • To differentiate normal from abnormal physical findings
  • It helps to give important information about growth  and development
  • Physical assessment skills are used to assist in making clinical judgments about a client’s health status and evaluating the effectiveness of nursing and medical interventions.

TECHNIQUES OF PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

There are four primary techniques used in physical assessment.

  1. Inspection: It is the systematic, deliberate visual examination of the entire client or a region. Inspection yields information about size, shape, color, texture, symmetry position and deformities.
  2.  Palpation: Examination done by the use of touch. Palpation yields information about masses, pulsation organ size, tenderness or pain, swelling, tissue firmness and elasticity, vibration, crepitation, temperature, variation in texture and moisture.
  3. Percussion: Is a technique in which sound is produced by striking the child’s skin in order to assess the underlying area. Percussion of body structures containing air, fluid and solids produces various sounds, depending on their densities.
  4. Auscultation: It is listening to internet body sounds in order to assess normal sounds and detect abnormal sounds. There are four sound characteristics the nurse notes when auscultation – pitch, intensity, duration and quality.

GUIDELINES FOR PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

  • Physical examination proceeds in a logical, orderly fashion. The approach commonly used by examiners follows a head to toe system of organization so that findings are complete. Successful physical assessment requires the nurse to be knowledgeable of both the techniques and the parameters of normal client findings.
  • Preparation of the environment includes private, quiet and comfortable position. The environment is neither too warm nor too cool.
  • Preparation of equipment is assembled and available before the examination is begun. The nurse practices picking up equipment, holding it in the position of used, making adjustments and assembling and disassembling.
  • Preparation of the client: The examination begins with a child on parent’s knee. Prepare the infant and parent physically and psychologically for the physical examination.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

        Equipment used for physical examination are thermometer, oto-ophthalmoscope, tongue depressor, lubricant, stethoscope, reflex hammer, disposable gloves, cotton applicator stick, tuning fork and flashlight.

MEASURING OF VITAL SIGNS IN CHILDREN

Temperature

  • Oral temperature is considered as the reference temperature and is taken by placing the clinical thermometer under the tongue.
  • In children below 5 years, skin temperature or rectal temperature can be taken. Never leave the child alone when taking temperature.
  • For security, safety and accuracy keep one hand on the thermometer when it is in place and record in the chart.

Pulse

  • The pulse should be recorded when child is at rest or during sleep. Crying, activity and anxiety may increase the pulse rate.
  • Radial pulse is usually recorded by placing middle and index fingers gently over the outer side of forearm just above the wrist. It should be recorded for full one minute by watch.
  • Record accurately the following – rate, rhythm, strength of beat and activity of child at time pulse is taken. Record and report immediately if there are any changes in the pulse.

NEONATAL CARE

NEONATAL CARE – Objectives of Early Neonatal Care, Immediate Care and Neonatal Examination (CHILD HEALTH NURSING)

Neonatal period is defined as birth up to the first 28 days of life. First week (7 days) of life is called early neonatal period. Late neonatal period extends from 7th day to less than 28th day of life

Early neonatal care is the first week of life and is the most crucial period in the life of an infant. The risk of death is the greatest during the first 24-48 hours after birth

OBJECTIVES OF EARLY NEONATAL CARE

  • Maintenance of body temperature
  • Establishment and maintenance of cardiorespiratory function
  • Avoidance of infection
  • Establishment of satisfactory feeding regimen
  • Early detection and treatment of congenital and acquired disorders, especially infections

IMMEDIATE CARE

Clearing the airway: establishment and maintenance of cardiorespiratory function is the most important steps of the moment of baby are born. To help establish breathing, the airway should be cleared of mucus and other secretions

Apgar score: it is taken at 1 minute and again at 5 minutes after birth. It requires immediate and careful observation of the heart rate, respiration, muscle tone, reflex response and color of the infant

A score below 5 needs prompt action, APGAR score at 5 minutes of age are subjected to a high risk of complications and death during the neonatal period

Care of the cord: umbilical cord should be cut and tied when it has stopped pulsating. Care must be taken to prevent tetanus of the newborn by using properly sterilized instruments and cord ties. The cord should be kept dry as possible

Care of the eyes: before the eyes are open, the lid margin of newborn should be cleaned with sterile wet swabs. One for each eye is from inner to outside. Instill a drop of freshly prepared silver nitrate solution 1% to prevent gonococcal conjunctivitis

Care of the skin: first bathing may be delayed for 12-24 hours after birth to avoid cooling the body temperature

Maintenance of body temperature: newborn has little thermal control and can lose body heat quickly. The normal body temperature of a newborn is between 36.5 to 37.5 degree celcius. It is important that immediately after birth the child is quickly dried with a clean for skin-to-skin contact and breast feeding

Breastfeeding: breastfeeding should be initiated within an hour of birth instead of waiting several hours as is often customary. The first milk which is called “colostrums” is the most suitable food for the baby during this early period because it contains a high concentration of protein and other nutrient the baby needs

NEONATAL EXAMINATION

First examination is made soon after birth and preferably in the delivery room

  • To ascertain in the baby has not suffered injuries during the birth process
  • To detect malfunctions especially those requiring urgent treatment
  • To assess maturity

Second examination should be done preferably by a pediatrician within 24 hours after birth. It is a detailed systematic examination from head to foot. It includes body size, temperature, skin, cardiovascular activities neurobehavioral activities of head and face, abdomen, limb and joints, spine and external genitalia
