Case Analysis:
The Family with a Toddler

Case Scenario: Second Degree Accidental burn at Right Hand

Course in the Ward


Marty, a 27 month old toddler was admitted to the ER due to 2nd degree burn. During the interview
the mother, Mrs. Lorraine said that she left Marty playing on the sofa while she was preparing their
lunch. She went outside the house to throw the garbage and suddenly she heard Marty crying in
pain. She then saw Marty near the frying pan and it seemed that Marty stood near the pan and
dipped his hand. According to the mother she never thought that Marty would be curious about
what she was doing and that he would climb up near the stove. “Wala gyud ko ngdahum nga
musaka na diay na sya ug iyaha bah, lihukan pud lagi bataa oi..naluoy jud ko pagkakita nko sa
iyaha nga pirti niyang tiyabaw. mao gidala nako dayun sya sa ospital.”
When asked what she did before going to the hospital, she said that she just placed the hand over
the running water, cleaned the burned area and called her husband, Mr. George to meet her at the
hospital.
You were assigned to Marty’s care and was asked to do a thorough assessment and to conduct an
interview regarding Marty’s growth and development. Lorraine states that they live with Marty in a
house with his father George, an industrial engineer, 35 yrs old, Lorraine is a stay at home mom,
32, who have been married for 12 years. Marty’s older brother, Josh is 7 years old and in the first
grade. Marty had a normal birth and his mother Lorraine mentioned that there were no

Nursing Program

complications or struggles during birth. Marty was born at 1:33PM on August 12, 2020 weighing
6.3 pounds. Marty now weighs 27.5 pounds. He got his first tooth at 6 months. He sat up by himself
and started crawling around eight months and was walking around at 13 to 14 months. One of the
recent activities that showcased his fine motor skills was his throwing a ball overarm in short
distances, stretching out arms to catch it, rolling the ball using the arms and hands and even kick-
in it. He does things with both hands, but most of the time he shows signs of being right handed.
He can do the puzzles that require putting pieces into an indented board, but he cannot do the
puzzles that create a whole picture yet. One area that Marty struggles with is being able to crawl
down stairs backwards. He probably would be able to do this but around 18 months, he fell down
a couple of stairs and now is scared, so he scoots on his bottom down the stairs. At this time his
parents are guiding Marty with his toilet training, he has a lot to learn to control his bladder and
bowel movement. He was always reminded by his mother to go to the toilet to pee or move the
bowel and eventually not use a diaper while at home.
Marty enjoys simple dances and rhythms especially when he hears music. One thing that he loves
more than anything is humming to the rhythm of the song and repeating what his mom Angie says.
He eats very well. He loves to munch steam carrots and fruits like apple and a piece of orange. He
has recently started to eat at the dinner table on a seat with the rest of the family. Marty still sleeps
through the night and then takes one hour to two hour nap during the afternoon. During his 2nd
birthday, his father George gifted him a ball that has different cut out shapes on it. He usually bonds
with his mom by playing with it. He then has to find the shape that correlates with the hole in the
ball and put the shape into the hole. One way his mom works with his cognitive development is by
having Marty name each color of the missing piece before he puts it into the ball. Marty is learning
and able to name at least 4 out of 8 different colors. When he draws he mostly scribbles and when
asked about what he drew, he does not answer, he only points at it and says his universal word,
“Josh” (his brother). He would also imitate others, one person that he imitates regularly is his
brother. He also learned how to put objects in and out of containers. He loves to play in the water
whenever he bathes every day, he learns how to put shampoo in his hair, make a bubble drop and
splashes the room with a lot of water. His mother will facilitate the proper final rinsing of water to
remove soap suds in his body. He knows how to dress himself with a simple shirt without a button.
Marty babbled loudly as an infant and his first word was “Dad” as Angie stated. At 24 months,
Marty talks with words and gestures. The words are not always clear, especially when he is excited.
His gestures mostly consist of pointing to objects in his story. He learned the word “no”, but did not
always respond to it. During the last couple of weeks, he has started to put together two or three
word sentences. One of them are “I out” “love you” and “I am Marty”. He does not like to sit still
enough for most stories, but he will watch “Frozen” over and over. He does not know the names
though. To him, it is called, “fishy”. He also likes Sesame Street, more specifically he likes Elmo
and he knows his name. If he sees the object get hidden he will look for it, but he will not just go
and look for an object if told, unless it is his shoes. Marty has started to show signs of memory and
assimilation. One example of this is since he has been told that pots and pans that his mom is
cooking with are hot, he told Josh that the pizza pan he was holding was hot. He just pointed and
said “hot, hot”. Marty will respond to simple directions. For example, if you ask him to pick up his
trash, like a wrapper, he will throw it away in the trash bin. He will also pick up his toys if instructed,
most of the time. He has also started to use problem solving to figure things out. His mother Lorraine
used to shut doors to keep him out of things, now he has figured out how to open doors so that he

can still get to the things he wants and her mother will not let him have. Mrs. Lorraine also noticed
that he started to climb up the stairs and never imagined that he would climb over even up to their
stove because she clearly instructed their children not to go near the kitchen stove.
The family bonding for Marty started before he was even born by his father George talking to him
during the pregnancy. Lorraine avoided any possible teratogens and even avoided caffeine. She
also stated that she drank a lot of water and ate a lot of fruit during the pregnancy. Since Lorraine
reads to Josh every day, Marty got read to at the same time. Marty seems to be pretty open about
his emotions. When he is mad, he screams. When he is hurt, he cries. When he has done
something wrong and has gotten in trouble he simply looks down and gets sad. He has grown up
with mom Lorraine being home with him. Marty is known as a tornado, not because of temper but
because he is very energetic and into everything. He enjoys playing with everything from anyone’s
shoes to Little People toys. He enjoys being around people and has a blast playing with his toys or
with his family members. At times, whenever Marty gets upset and shows his frustrations, or resist
what his parents tell him to do like most children of his age. He show tantrums and can go through
many different moods within a short period of time. He does have a security blanket, and as long
as he has it he is usually okay. One Christmas break, the family hosted a small party with cousins
and friends. Marty is observed to be playing beside his cousin Ronan without interacting, but in a
few more minutes they will be imitating and copying what the other will be doing. When he is around
his cousin Ronan crying, he exhibits his caring attitude towards him by occasionally giving him his
blanket to try to calm him down. On one specific time, Marty threw a fit at McDonald’s because his
dad George would not let him hold his cup. His parents rule is he is not allowed to hold his cup
unless there is a lid on it, so he started throwing a fit by kicking and screaming but his dad
cooperated with him and calmed him down. The resolution was they would both hold onto the cup
as he took the drink.
Physical examination:
After endorsement you were asked to perform a physical assessment of Marty. During the physical
examination, Marty was crying uncontrollably and his mother and father were calming him down.
They were trying to give him his blanket but continued to be irritated and crying out of pain and
pointing towards his right hand. He has an IV in his left metacarpal vein, intact and patent with D5
LR 1 liter @ 112 ml/hour at a level of 950ml. His eyes were already swollen. There seems to be no
difficulty in breathing upon assessment. When the mother was asked how many teeth Marty has
she said that she counted recently and noticed he has around 20 teeth total. She was planning to
have him schedule a dentist appointment in the coming days. No other unusualities were noted at
the mouth. His skin is fair, soft and warm to touch. The affected hand started to have blisters,
redness is noted around the area and looks shiny. Aside from that there were no other unusualities
in the extremities. As soon as Marty quieted down, you continued your physical assessment. It
revealed that he has a protuberant abdomen and walks with a wide stance. He is still wearing his
diaper but according to the mother they already started potty training him. He sometimes has bed
wetting episodes but they understand that they do not need to punish him for that just like the
training they did with his brother Josh. He most often inform them if he needs to use the potty.
Labs were taken and to follow up results. Medications were ordered and started. Marty was placed
on I and O monitoring q hourly for 24 hours cc/cc then to shift to q 4 hours thereafter. You have
instructed the mother to keep the affected hand elevated and to call out if there are other concerns.

What to Do?

To immerse yourself in the care management of your patient, let us do some detailed description
of your patient care tasks. Using the Case Scenario assigned to you, you are expected to perform
the following:

1. Fill-up the needed data based on the given scenario/case.


2. Conduct a history taking and physical assessment of your patient. Discuss the health
history of the patient narrative, in chronological order as much as possible. Use the DDC
Health Assessment form for documenting PA findings.
3. Discuss the developmental milestones of your patient in chronological order in terms of:
a. Physical Growth
b. Gross Motor Development
c. Fine Motor Development
d. Socialization/ Language
e. Play
f. Senses
g. Emotional Development
4. Interpret the therapeutics done for the patient: doctor’s orders, laboratory and diagnostic
tests done, and surgical procedures to be performed. Use format presented.
5. Present your drug study and IVF data. One drug study per student. Transcribe the IVF
and medications in the appropriate sheets.
Davao Doctors College, Inc.
College of Allied Health Sciences
Nursing Program

6. Formulate a patient-centered care plan for your patient. Integrate in your care
intervention significant bio ethical and legal standards of patient care. One NCP per
student.
7. Document the care given by making a nurse documentation following the FDAR format
(individual).
8. Clinical Reasoning Questions - Collaboration: Accidents are the major cause of
death in children of all ages. Accidental ingestions (poisoning) are the type of
accident that occurs most frequently in toddlers (Dart & Rumack, 2008). A young 2
year old girl was admitted in Pedia Ward due to fever and cough. She was playing
with her toys unsupervised by the mother. Upon the return of the mother from the
restroom, she noticed that her child was chewing something on her mouth and
noticed that the child went through her bag on top of the child’s bed. Concerned with
what her daughter was eating, she then rush to her assigned nurse and raised her
concern. What is your best action regarding this? Knowing that this is a safety concern, how
would you tell the staff nurse? Follow the CUS method.

C I am concerned about the child’s situation. The child is currently in the stage of
development wherein she is curious about anything and puts something in her
mouth. Without any supervision by the child’s mother, she puts something in her
mouth and chews it.
U Because the parent's role was not evaluated, I feel uncomfortable with them. The
responsibility of a parent is to provide the safety of their child. Their infant is 2
years old, in particular.
S This calls for a safety issue. The infant could suffer major injuries, problems, or
even death as a result of the parent's negligence. This is an issue that may be
avoided; the definition of a parent needs to be clarified.

9. Clinical Reasoning Questions - Ethico-Moral-Legal: During your morning shift you


were assigned to a 2 year old toddler. While doing your morning care and taking the VS of
your patient, you noticed while she was playing, she wet herself. You then talked calmly to
the child and informed the mother. The mother angrily approached the child and pulled the
child’s hand while reprimanding her for wetting the bed. The mother was slapping the leg of
the child while removing her clothes with force causing the patient to cry. What would be
your nursing action in this situation? What ethical principle is applicable in this scenario?
Justify?

Nursing Action Establish a therapeutic connection with the mom and patient while
demonstrating unwavering kindness and unending admiration for them.
Davao Doctors College, Inc.
College of Allied Health Sciences
Nursing Program

The most we can do for the patient is to alleviate his pain and treat his
burn as soon as possible to prevent infection. Ensure the patient receive
essential physical recovery. Additionally, provide health education and
report any significant finding.
Ethical Principle Accountability – For nursing care and other actions, nurses are
Upheld responsible. They must be prepared for the negative effects of their
actions may have on their careers and personal lives.
Fidelity – The nurse must deliver a high-quality, safe care in a well-
informed manner in order to uphold professional promises and
obligations.
Autonomy – When the nurse recognizes the patient as an individual
with the inherent right to have their own perspective, thoughts, beliefs,
and values, the self-determination is protected. Nurse’s support patient’s
autonomy by not passing judgment or giving pressure on them. All
treatments may be accepted or rejected by the patient.
Veracity – Being honest of the nurse to the patient; nurses should not
hide anything from patients, even if doing so can make them upset or
uncomfortable.

Have you answered all of the questions above? Great! You are now ready for to proceed
to the next part of the module.

Congratulations! You have completed this module. You may now proceed to the weekly quiz.
