Dengue
It's important to note that dengue fever, DHF, and DSS are all
caused by the same virus, but the severity of the disease
depends on a person's immune system and previous exposure
to the virus. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for
managing the symptoms and preventing complications.
Rationale: Controlling fever and pain can help reduce the risk of
bleeding by preventing sudden changes in blood pressure.
Interventions:
● Monitor vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, and
respiratory rate, every 4 hours or as ordered.
Assessing for signs and symptoms of dengue fever, such as high fever, headache,
rash, muscle and joint pain, vomiting, and bleeding.
Monitoring fluid and electrolyte balance to prevent dehydration and maintain
adequate hydration. This includes monitoring the patient's intake and output, vital
signs, skin turgor, and mucous membrane moisture.
Assessing for signs of bleeding, such as petechiae, ecchymosis, and bleeding from
the gums or nose. Administering platelet transfusions as ordered to maintain
adequate platelet levels and implementing bleeding precautions.
Providing emotional support and reassurance to the patient and family, encouraging
the patient to express feelings, and involving the patient in their care by explaining
procedures and encouraging questions.
Educating the patient and family on measures to prevent the spread of dengue fever
and protect against mosquito bites, including wearing protective clothing, using
mosquito repellent, and removing standing water.
Providing skin care, including frequent bathing and application of topical creams to
reduce itching.
Encouraging the patient to rest and limit physical activity to conserve energy.
It is important to note that the use of medications in children with dengue should be
closely monitored by a healthcare provider, particularly in cases of severe dengue.
Children with severe dengue may require hospitalization and intensive care.
