Record the activity carried out and the services given specifically. For
example, record what foods were advised regarding nutrition Instead of
recording 'Discussed well balanced diet'. Similarly a statement such as
'Child having fever, so advised mother on care off ever', does not give a
clear picture about the child's condition. it will be better to state the exact
temperature, other signs associated with fever such as cold, or cough or
diarrhoea and the appropriate action taken by nurse. Describe what was done
and there as on s for doing the specific procedure. Example-what
demonstration was carried out, what was discussed, explained, explored.
Suggested overviewed. All: such details will go on the record after each visit.
A clear, concise and skillfully written record helps in better patient care.

Today the concept of sanitation covers the total aspects of the environment of man such
as food, air, water, housing in the prevention of diseases and the promotion of health and not
as in the past, where 'sanitation' was centered only on the sanitary disposal of human excreta.
Even now to many, sanitation still means 'construction of latrines'. Therefore with this new
concept the environmental health is replaced as environmental sanitation or an environmental
science with the multidisciplinary approach of action, including various categories of
personnel in the team such as physician, epidemiologist, public health engineer, sociologist,
health inspector, etc.; thus the attainment of healthy environment is a complete process
Important aspects of environmental sanitation such as water, air, ventilation, housing,
refuse disposal and excreta disposal. It is important for health workers who are involved both
in hospital and community health practice to understand the relationship of these factors in
the environment, in sickness and health process of individuals, families and the community as
a whole.

CONTENT

Safe and sufficient drinking water, along with adequate sanitation and hygiene, positively
impacts survival, health and nutrition status of the population. A study by the world bank
(June 2010) in 70 countries shows a robust association between access to water and sanitation
and child morbidity and mortality. The result shows that good water and sanitation
infrastructure lowers the odds of children suffering from diarrhoea by 7%-17% and reduces
the mortality risk for children under the age of 5 years by approximately 5%-20%.

CONTENT

The rising complexness of medical and nursing techniques has produced a need for
unique field for child-care. The child-care has major importance, as the mortality and
morbidity are higher in this group. Many diseases are avoidable like nutritional deficiency.
The target is to encourage the development and growth of the children and promote an
optimal state of health physically, mentally, and socially, so that they may work at the peak
of their capability. Because most of the responses of children are regulated by the phases of
development and growth, the ages of the child is the most important reason affecting nursing
activities. For instance, fractured jaw is more distressing to an infant who is in oral phase of
the development than to a child of the six years of age who has already passed this phase. The
separation of the family during the hospitalization will cause an anxiety in the young child
and may disturb

Growth in the first 2 years of life: Growth during the first 2 years of life is characterized
by a gradual deceleration in both linear growth velocity and rate of weight gain, both of
which level off at 2-3 years of age. It is during this stage that infants exhibit the pattern of
growth consistent with their genetic backgrounds. Two-thirds of all infants cross percentiles
on the growth curve, either upward (catch-up growth) or downward (lag-down growth).
Catch-up growth typically begins within the first 3 months and is complete by 12-18 months,
whereas lag-down growth commences a little later and may not be complete till 18-24
months.

CONTENT

Illness and hospitalization can be major stressors for children; therefore, three 2020
national health goals speak directly to this- Increase the proportion of children with special
health care needs who have access to a medical home from 47.1% to 51.8%, increase the
proportion of children aged 0 to 11 years with special health care needs who receive their
care in family- centered, comprehensive and coordinated systems from 20.4% to 22.4%.
Nurses can help the nation achieve these goals by helping reduce the stress of hospitalization
or health care so families use preventive services to help children stay well rather than totally
use emergent or ill child care services.

CONTENT

Diarrhoea is a leading cause of death during complex emergencies and natural

disaster. Displacement of population into temporary overcrowded shelters is often associated
with polluted water sources, inadequate sanitation, poor hygiene practices, contaminated food
and malnutrition – all of which affect the spread and severity of diarrhoea. At the same time,
the lack of adequate health services and transport reduces the like hood of prompt and
appropriate treatment of diarrhoea cases.
Diarrhoeal disease causes a heavy economic burden on the health services. Much
attention has been given to acute diarrhoeal diseases and its management over the last decade,
which is dominated by advances in oral rehydration technique and through integrated
management of childhood illness. The treatment recommendations reflect a better
understanding of what works to reduce child death from diarrhoea as well as new insight into
treatment feasibility. These changes in treatment recommendations and preventive measures
have subsequently led to monitorable treatment and diarrhoea prevention.
