Health Supervision 2016
Principles of Health Supervision • Providing services proactively • Optimizing child’s level of functioning • Ensuring child is growing and developing appropriately • Promoting best possible health of child • Preventing injury and illness through child teaching • Organizations which provide guidelines and framework for the health supervision – DHHS (U. S. Dept of Health and Human Services) – AMA and AAP
Community Settings • The nurse has a key role in health screening and surveillance: – Pay attention to voiced parental concerns – Ask questions about child’s growth and development – Observe child’s mental, physical, and spiritual state (not just diagnosed condition) – Note any risk factors that may be present – Document specific observations and findings – Provide community resources and make appropriate referrals – Track disease incidence and demographics of illnesses – Implement policies that may prevent further spread of diseases – Initiate follow-up care for any concerns and conditions
Community Settings (cont’d) Places in the community where children and their families can access health care: – State health program – Department of Health and Human Services – Specialty camps – Churches, synagogues, mosques – Mobile health care unit – Rehabilitation service – School setting • Primary health-care provider’s office or clinic – Community centers – Preventative medicine center – Home health care – Medical home
Community Settings (cont’d) In a community, there can be one general care clinic or many types of specialty clinics: – Allergy and asthma clinic – Audiological clinic – Cardiology clinic – Diabetes clinic – Eating disorders clinic – Endocrinology clinic – Gastroenterology— nutrition clinic – Genetics clinic – Immunology clinic – Infectious disease clinic – Neurology clinic – Oncology clinic – Ophthalmology clinic – Orthopedics clinic – Pulmonary/cystic fibrosis clinic – Rheumatology clinic – Urology clinic
Community Settings (cont’d) • Health screenings – Community settings often provide primary care along with health screening and surveillance – Health screening is a way to test or examine children for presence of disease, illness, chronic condition, developmental delays, or mental health issues – Health surveillance is the continuous observation related to tracking health conditions and risk behaviors
Community Settings (cont’d) • Benefits of a medical home – Child regularly sees same primary care physician and staff – Coordination of care for the child – Open exchange of information in honest and respectful manner – Support for finding resources and information related to all stages of growth and development and medical conditions – Family is connected to information and family support organizations
Characteristics of a Medical Home
Benefits of Health Partnerships With Child, Parents, and Community • Child is the focus of the health supervision visit, BUT. . . • The family and community is strongly linked • Mutual goal setting • Marshalling of resources • Development of optimal health practices
Special Issues in Health Supervision • Cultural influences • Community influences – Has unique strengths, weakness, and values – Can be a contributor of child’s health or a detriment • Health supervision and the chronically ill child – Must be responsive to the individual child’s situation – Child needs to be reassessed constantly – This will determine frequency of visits and types
Special Issues in Health Supervision (cont) • Health supervision and the internationally adopted child – Comprehensive screening for infectious diseases • • • Intestinal parasites Tuberculosis Hep B HIV Syphilis
Let’s look at who might be at risk for developmental delay • • • BW < 1, 500 g Gestational age < 33 wks CNS abnormality Hx of hypoxia Mom’s ETOH abuse Mom’s Drug abuse Hyperbilirubinemia Congenital abnormalities Inborn error of metabolism • Chronic otitis media with effusion • HIV infection • Lead level of 19 mg/dl • Uncaring parents to allow developmental delays to continue • Single parent • Sibling with delays • Parent with developmental disabilities or mental illness
Issues Covered in Psychosocial Assessments • • • Health insurance coverage Transportation to health care facilities Financial stressors Family coping School’s response to the chronic illness
Three Components of Health Supervision • Developmental surveillance and screening – Noting and addressing parental concerns – Obtaining a developmental history – Making accurate observations – Consulting with relevant professionals
Three Components of Health Supervision (cont) • Injury and disease prevention – Interventions meant to protect children from disease and risks • Risk assessment – Performed by physician – Includes objective and subjective data to determine likelihood child will develop a condition
Three Components of Health Supervision (cont) • Health promotion – Maintaining or enhancing physical and mental health of children – Identify risk factors – Facilitate lifestyle changes to eliminate or reduce those factors – Empower kids at both individual and community level
Types of Screening • Injury and disease prevention (cont) • Universal screening – Screening of an entire population regardless of the child’s individual risk – (like DENVER II) • Selective Screening – When a risk assessment indicates one or more risks – Done when a risk assessment indicates the child has one or more risk factors for a disorder
Screenings Conducted at the Health Supervision Visit • • • History and physical assessment Developmental/behavioral assessment Sensory screening (vision and hearing) Appropriate at-risk screening Immunizations Health promotion
Specific Types of Screenings Performed • Metabolic – Some states have mandatory screenings – Several examples shown on Page 243 – Let’s look! • Hearing – Looking at 3 months to 4 years – Weber (bone conduction) and Rinne (sound conduction) •
Criteria for Risk Assessment for Hearing Loss (Age 3 Month to 5 Years) • • • Auditory skill monitoring Developmental surveillance Assessment of parental concerns Older than 4 years old Difficulty hearing on the telephone Difficulty hearing people in a noisy background • Frequent asking of others to repeat themselves • Turning the television up too loudly
Specific Types of Screenings Performed • Vision – Age appropriate picture chart – SNELLEN after age 6 when they know the alphabet • Iron-deficiency anemia • Lead – Still a problem despite 30 yr regulation – Historic homes or homes not stripped last 3 decades – MEDICAID kids at risk 80% needs to be screened • Hypertension- Obesity • Hyperlipidemia
Using a Vision Screening Chart • Place the chart at the child’s eye level. • Place a mark on the floor 20 feet from the chart. • Align the child’s heels on the mark. • Have the child read each line with one eye covered and then with the other eye covered. • Have the child read each line with both eyes.

Immunizations • KEY PREVENTIVE ACTIVITY • 1940 s – kids started really surviving their childhood • Shifted from, “disease treatment” to, “disease prevention” As a nurse, YOU need to: • Understand the principles of immunizations • Proper use of vaccines • Barriers to immunizations
Immunity • Immunity – Ability to destroy and remove a specific antigen from the body • Passive immunity – Produced when the immunoglobulins of one person are transferred to another • Active immunity – Acquired when a person’s own immune system generates the immune response
Types of Vaccines • Live attenuated vaccines – Live but modified that weakens it – Produce a good immune response but. . . NOT the complications • Killed vaccines – Whole dead organisms incapable of reproducing but. . . produces an immune response
Types of Vaccines (cont) • Toxoid vaccines – Contain protein products produced by bacteria (toxins) – Is heat treated to weaken its effect but. . . retains ability to produce immune response • Conjugate vaccines – Increases the immune response by chemically linking the bacterial wall with proteins
Types of Vaccines (cont) • Recombinant vaccines – Genetically engineered organisms – Splices the gene portion of the virus into a gene of a yeast cell – Yeast cell is then able to produce a surface antigen to use for vaccine to produce an immune response
Live attenuated vaccines consist of live bacteria or virus which have been rendered avirulent • The 8 live vaccines are – – – – 1. BCG Ty-21 a 3. OPV 4. Measles 5. Mumps 6. Rubella 7. Varicella 8. Yellow fever
Vaccine Administration Routes Adapted from Immunization Action Coalition. (2009). Administering vaccines: Dose, route, site, and needle size. Retrieved April 17, 2011, from http: //www. immunize. org/catg. d/p 3085. pdf. We thank the Immunization Action Coalition.
Types of Vaccines • http: //www. vaccineinformation. org/ • • • Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis Haemophilus influenzae type B Polio, measles, mumps, and rubella Hepatitis A and B Varicella Pneumococcal and influenza Rotavirus Human papillomavirus Meningococcal

Barriers to Immunizations • Parental concerns about vaccine safety • Fact: the more kids in a family the less likely subsequent kids get immunized • The cost of vaccines • Wanting to postpone some because of concern of multiple vaccines • Fact: disrupting optimal spacing of immunizations can decrease efficacy
Overcoming Barriers • • • Combined: MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) Comvax (Hep B –Hib) Pediarix (DTa. P – Hep. B – IPV) Pentacel (DTa. P – IPV/Hib)
Topics for Anticipatory Guidance • • • Promoting oral health care Promoting healthy weight Promoting healthy activity Promoting personal hygiene Promoting safe sun exposure
Oral Hygiene • When New Teeth Arrive • First primary or baby teeth will begin to erupt between the ages of six to eight months • Continues to erupt until about age three. • During this time, gums may feel tender and sore. To help alleviate this discomfort, soothe gums by rubbing a clean finger or a cool, wet cloth across them. • Teething ring. • When finished teething, a total of 20 primary teeth is expected.
Oral Hygiene • Sugary foods and liquids can attack a new tooth, so brushing early after feeding or eating (four times a day for optimal oral hygiene: after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner, and at bedtime). • When a baby's tooth erupts, parents should brush the tooth with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.
Oral Hygiene • For children younger than two, do not use fluoride toothpaste unless advised to do so by your dentist or other healthcare professional. • Flossing is also a part of good oral hygiene habits • Children should visit the dentist by their first birthday.
Personal Hygiene • Encourage parents to allow child to get involved with personal hygiene early • Age specific • Parent needs to follow up
Sun Safety • Play in shade or out of sun all together between the hours of 1000 and 1600 • Wear sunglasses and wide brim hat • Drink lots of water and keep cool • Cover with clothing not translucent • • No babies in the sun (before 6 mos) Use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) everyday, Apply between 15 and 30 mins before exposure Reapply q 2 hrs
