Paper For Above instruction

Case Study 1: Jordan

Discharge teaching for Jordan and his family should begin once stabilization is achieved, ideally before they leave the facility, to ensure understanding of care and hydration needs. The best approach to Jordan regarding the IV is to use age-appropriate explanations, offering reassurance and involving him in the process as much as possible.

Distractions such as playing his favorite game, giving him a toy, or engaging him with storytelling can help distract Jordan during IV insertion.

Case Study 2: Susan

Susan’s nurse should explain the procedure to her before drawing blood to prepare her and reduce anxiety, ideally after establishing rapport. Choices such as selecting which arm to use or whether to hold her hand can give her a sense of control amid the procedure.

Prioritized actions include explaining the procedure to Susan beforehand, offering her control options, and ensuring a gentle, calm approach during the blood draw to minimize fear and discomfort.

Discussion Topic: Perez Reflex

The Perez reflex is a reflex observed in infants when gentle pressure is applied to the lower abdomen, causing the infant to void. It is important to know how to elicit it because it facilitates urine collection from infants without invasive methods, which is especially useful in obtaining sterile samples for diagnostic purposes.

The Perez reflex is utilized in collecting urine specimens from infants by applying gentle pressure over the suprapubic area, encouraging spontaneous voiding, thus avoiding the need for catheterization, which can be more invasive and distressing.
