INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the study is to be familiarized with Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF); its transmission, disease process, signs and symptoms and most especially on how this can be treated or prevented. Dengue hemorrhagic fever (also called H-fever, Breakbone or Dandy fever) is a severe, potentially deadly infection spread by certain species of mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti). Aedes aegypti, the transmitter of the disease, is a day-biting mosquito which lays eggs in clear and stagnant water found in flower vases, cans, rain barrels, old rubber tires, etc. Four serotypes of dengue viruses (1, 2, 3, and 4 Group B Arboviruses) are known to cause dengue hemorrhagic fever. There are three other arboviruses that have been identified with dengue-like diseases namely Chikungunya, Onyong nyong and West Nile fever. Dengue hemorrhagic fever occurs when a person catches a different type dengue virus after being infected by another one sometime before. Prior immunity to a different dengue virus type plays an important role in this severe disease. The Department of Health warned the public about the rising number of dengue cases in the country, which reached 11,803 cases from January 1 to March 27, 2010. The DOH said the number of dengue cases is 61% higher than the 7,335 cases recorded during the same period last year. Dr. Eric Tayag, head of the DOH National Epidemiology Center, said the El Nio phenomenon could have something to do with the increase in dengue cases. He said the number of dengue cases also shot up in 1998 when the El Nio phenomenon was felt in the country. Sources 1. Infected persons the virus is present in the blood of patients during the acute phase of the disease and will become a reservoir of virus, accessible to mosquitoes which may transmit the disease. 2. Standing water within the household and premises are usual breeding places. Incubation Period 4- 6 days (minimum=3days; maximum=10days) Period of Communicability
Unknown. Presumed to be on the 1st week of illnesswhen virus is still present in the blood. Susceptibility, Resistance and Occurrence All persons are susceptible. Both sexes are equally affected. Age groups predominantly affected are the preschool and school age. Adults and infants are not exempted. Peak age affected 5-9 years. Occurrence is sporadic throughout the year. Epidemic usually occur during the rainy seasonsJune-November. Acquired immunity may be temporary but usually permanent. Signs and Symptoms An acute febrile infection of sudden onset with clinical manifestation of 3 stages: First 4 daysFebrile or invasive stage starts abruptly as high fever, abdominal pain and headache; later flushing which may be accompanied by vomiting, conjunctival infection and epistaxis. Petechiae may be observed in pressure areas usually first on the face or distal portions of the extremities. 4th-7th daysToxic or hemorrhagic stagelowering of temperature, severe abdominal pain, vomiting and frequent bleeding from gastrointestinal tract in the form of hematesis or melena. Unstable BP, narrow pulse pressure and shock may occur. Tourniquet test which may be negative due to low or vasomotor collapse. 7th-10th daysconvalescent or recovery stage generalized flushing with intervening areas of blanching appetite regained and blood pressure already stable. Grading of Dengue Fever The severity of DHF is categorized into four grades: Grade I, fever without overt bleeding but with positive tourniquet test Grade II, manifestation of Grade I with clinical bleeding diathesis such as epistaxis, gum bleeding, GI bleeding and hematemesis
Grade III, circulatory failure manifested by a rapid and weak pulse with narrowing pulse pressure (20 mmHg) or hypotension, with the presence of cold clammy skin and restlessness; and Grade IV, profound shock in which pulse and blood pressure are not detectable. It is noteworthy that patients who are in threatened shock or shock stage, also known as dengue shock syndrome, usually remain conscious. Grade III and IV are considered to be Dengue Shock Syndrome
Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests 1.) Tourniquet Test (Rumpel Leads Tests) Inflate the blood pressure cuff on the upper arm to a point midway between the systolic and diastolic pressure for 5 minutes Release cuff and make an imaginary 2.5 cm square or 1 inch just below the cuff, at the antecubital fossa Count the number of petechiae inside the box A test is (+) when 20 or more petechiae per2.5 cm square or 1 inch square is observed. 2.) A confirmed diagnosis is established by culture of the virus, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, or serologic assays. The diagnosis of dengue hemorrhagic fever is made on the basis of the following triad of symptoms and signs: Hemorrhagic manifestations; a platelet count of less than 100, 000 per cubic millimeter (thromobocytopenia); and objective evidence of plasma leakage, shown either by fluctuation of packed cell volume (greater than 20 percent during the course of the illness) or by clinical signs of plasma leakage, such as pleural effusion, ascites or hypoproteinemia. Hemorrhagic manifestations without capillary leakage do not constitute dengue hemorrhagic fever. Management Supportive and symptomatic treatment should be provided:
Promote rest Medication There are no specific antivial drugs. Paracetamol for fever Analgesic (Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and codeine) for severe headache and joint and muscle pains Aspirin and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs should be avoided o Rapid replacement of body fluids is the most important treatment
Give ORESOL to replace fluid as in moderate dehydration at 75ml/kg in 46 hours or up to 23L in adults. Continue ORS intake until paients condition improves. Intravenous fluid o For hemorrhage
Keep patient at rest during bleeding periods For epistaxis maintain an elevated position of trunk and promote vasoconstriction in nasal mucosa membrane through an ice bag over the forehead. For melena ice bag over the abdomen. Provide support during the transfusion therapy o Diet
Low fat, low fiber, nonirritating, noncarbonated Noodle soup may be given o o Observe signs of deterioration (shock) such as low pulse, cold clammy perspiration, prostration. For shock
Place in dorsal recumbent position to facilitate circulation Provision of warmth through lightweight covers (overheating causesvasodilatation which aggravates bleeding) Prevention The best way to prevent dengue fever is to take special precautions to avoid contact with mosquitoes.
Eliminate vector by: Changing water and scrubbing sides of lower vases once a week Destroy breeding places of mosquito by cleaning surroundings Proper disposal of rubber tires, empty bottles and cans Keep water containers covered because Aedes mosquitoes usually bite during the day, be sure to use precautions especially during early morning hours before daybreak and in the late afternoon before dark. Other precautions include: When outdoors in an area where dengue fever has been found Use a mosquito repellant containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus Dress in protective clothing long sleeved shirts, long pants, socks, and shoes Keeping unscreened windows and doors closed

THEORETRICAL
FRAMEWORK
The group used the following 4 nursing theories to achieve their aim health-promoting behavior of the patient: (1) Lydia Halls Core, Care and Cure Model, (2) Hildegard Peplaus Interpersonal Relationship Theory, (3) Florence Nightingales Environmental Theory and (4) Imogene Kings Goal Attainment Theory.
The theories of Lydia Hall, Hildegard Peplau, Florence Nightingale and Imogene King are combined to each other because of their intense interrelationship. Hildegard Peplaus Interpersonal Relationship Theory is the backbone of Figure 1, for it illustrates the interpersonal communication between the patient and healthcare team which affects the healthcare decision-making and delivery. We may say that Lydia Halls Core, Care and Cure Model & Imogene Kings Goal Attainment Theory and Florence Nightingales Environmental Theory, Imogene Kings Goal Attainment Theory and Care part of Core, Care and Cure Model happen simultaneously. Environmental Theory is centered at the Care part of Lydia Halls Core, Care and Cure Model. But, it is affected by Imogene King and Hildegard Peplau. Nightingale states 5 components of environment that the nurse should modify to satisfy the Care part of Halls theory. Modification of the environment should be facilitated by the nurse because this is an independent nursing intervention. While, Core, Care and Cure Model and Goal Attainment Theory illustrate the implementation of different specific needed interventions by the patient, nurse and doctors or other health care team members through their continuous reaction and interaction. The Transaction phase of Goal Attainment Theory signifies the evaluation of nursing process. It shows if the goal is met or not which is health-promoting behavior. Therefore, ongoing assessment will be very essential to adjust interventions when necessary.
Major ARTERIES (in bright red) and VEINS (dark red) of the system
Blood from the aorta passes into a branching system of arteries that lead to all parts of the body. It then flows into a system of capillaries where its exchange functions take place. Function only: to supply materials to and remove materials from the capillaries. Blood from the capillaries flows into venules which are drained by veins. o Veins draining the upper portion of the body lead to the superior vena cava. o Veins draining the lower part of the body lead to the inferior vena cava. o Both empty into the right atrium.
BLOOD
Blood is a liquid tissue. Suspended in the watery plasma are seven types of cells and cell fragments. red blood cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes platelets or thrombocytes kinds of white blood cells (WBCs) or leukocytes Three kinds of granulocytes Neutrophils eosinophils basophils Two kinds of leukocytes without granules in their cytoplasm lymphocytes monocytes
STEM CELLS
are very rare (only about one in 10,000 bone marrow cells); are attached (probably by adherens junctions) to osteoblasts lining the inner surface of bone cavities; produce, by mitosis, two kinds of progeny: More stem cells (A mouse that has had all its blood stem cells killed by a lethal dose of radiation can be saved by the injection of a singleliving stem cell!). Cells that begin to differentiate along the paths leading to the various kinds of blood cells.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Precipitating Factors: Previous dengue infection Environmental condition Mosquito carrying a different strain
Aedes aegypti (dengue virus carrier): 8-12 days of viral replication on mosquitos salivary glands Bite from mosquito (Portal of Entry in the Skin) Inoculation of dengue virus in the circulation/blood (Incubation Period: 3-14 days) Rapid dissemination of dengue virus in the blood Inflammatory Response Redness; itchiness in the area
Immunoglobulins (Specific antibodies of previous virus strain) Attachment to the dengue virus to facilitate phagocytosis
Virus Replication takes place Multiplies & Release to the blood stream
Decreased WBC

Drug Interaction
Nursing Consideration s
Monitor AST, ALT, serum creatinine when used to prevent stress-related GI bleeding. Inform the patient that it will take several days before noticeable relief. Allow 1 hr between any other antacids & ranitidine. Follow diet as recommended.
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time
of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Classification Action
Respiratory drugs
Specific beta 2 adrenergic receptor stimulant, resulting to bronchodilation and relaxation of peripheral vasculature. It also causes relaxation of uterine smooth muscles and has minimal beta 1 activity. Terbutaline is given as the sulfate for its bronchodilating properties in reversible airways obstruction. It also decreases uterine contractility and may be used to arrest premature labour. Hypersensitivity to sympathomimetic agents. Thyrotoxicosis; pregnancy 1st trimester. Cardiac arrhythmias associated with tachycardia. Palpitation, tachycardia, chest discomfort, arrhythmias, hypertension, CNS stimulation, tremor, dizziness, headache, weakness, nausea, vomiting, GI distress, hypokalemia(high doses), dyspnea, sweating, muscle cramps, ECG changes, increased heart rate, seizures. Beta-blockers, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants.
Combining terbutaline with thioridazine (Mellaril) may increase the occurrence of abnormal heart rhythms because both drugs can cause abnormal heart rhythms.
Nursing Consideration s
Assess patients condition before the therapy and regularly monitor drug effectiveness. Assess respiration (rate, rhythm and character). Monitor and report evidence of allergic reactions, rash, pruritus and urticaria. Monitor for possible drug induced adverse reactions: CNS: nervousness, headache, drowsiness, dizziness, weakness CV: palpitations, tachycardia, arrhythmia, flushing GI: vomiting, nausea, heartburn METABOLIC: hypokalemia, RESPI: paradoxical bronchospasm, dyspnea SKIN: diaphoresis. Assess patients knowledge on drug therapy. Tech patient to monitor for and report adverse reaction.
Indications
Drug Interaction
The body needs lysine, methionine, vitamin C, iron, niacin, and vitamin B6 to produce carnitine. Phenobarbitals resulted in reduced blood levels of L-carnitine.

PLAN
Continue taking prescribe medication for the patient on exact dosage, time, and frequency making sure that the purpose of the medication is truly discussed by the health care provider.
Instruct the patient to follow the instruction when administering meds. Advice the patient not to stop intake of prescribed meds, unless approved by the physician. Dont give aspirin and NSAIDs; they increase the risk of bleeding. Any medicines that decrease platelet count should be avoided.
E- Exercise Instruct to avoid excessive activities that may result to stress. Just advised to perform range of motions and repetitive body movements for promotion of optimum health. Remind about the need for health promotion activities such as reading, watching T.V, etc T Treatment Bed rest is advisable during the re-occurrence of fever phase. Instruct to drink plenty of water or fluids that are available at home and eat nutritious diet. Advised to look for re-occurrence of danger signs and symptoms and report immediately. H Hygiene Encourage to continue the routinely hygienic care of the patient O OPD Instruct the family members to have a check-up or to consult physician once a while to monitor patients condition and for detection of recurrences and other complications that may arise on to it. D Diet Instruct the family members to give the client protein rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy products.
