Celebrating Practice
As a nurse you need to inspect the present condition. Vital signs
should be monitored. Provide TSB during hyperthermia and
administered analgesics for pain as prescribed. Elevation reduces
swelling and Warmth promotes comfort and enhances circulation.
Notify the physician if the affected area appears to enlarge,
additional lymph nodes become involve of temperature remains
elevated.
Correcting Practice
The nurse should explain about the disease process and how it
occurs. The main option to treat the disease is to maintain
hygienic measures to prevent the spread of infection in other
area. As a nurse you need also to promote confidentiality about
the information gathered to gain trust.
Complete recovery is expected if antibiotic treatment is begun at an early stage of
the infection. However, if untreated, it can be a very serious and even deadly
disease. If that goes untreated it can spread, causing tissue damage. Extensive
tissue damage would need to be repaired by plastic surgery. Spread of the infection
into the bloodstream could be fatal.
Understanding Self
As a nurse, you need to give assistance if the discomfort
interferes the patient. Administer medications as prescribed in
right time to alleviate patients discomfort especially during pain
occurs. Discuss the affecting factors together with the mother.
Understanding others
The nurse should deal with the S.O and talk about the treatment
of lymphangitis and lymphadenitis. Discuss also the possible
Understanding Profession
Because of the serious nature of this infection, treatment would begin immediately
even before the bacterial culture results were available. The only treatment is to
give very large doses of an antibiotic, usually penicillin, through the vein. Growing
streptococcal bacteria are usually eliminated rapidly and easily by penicillin. The
antibiotic clindamycin may be included in the treatment to kill any streptococci
which are not growing and are in a resting state. Alternatively, a "broad spectrum"
antibiotic may be used which would kill many different kinds of bacteria.

the bloodstream could be fatal.
