1.B Basic Divisions of Life
Stages:
I. Prenatal stage
( from conception to birth )
II. Period of infancy
1. Neonatal - 1st 28 days of life or 1st 4 weeks of life
2. Formal infancy - 29th day – 1 year
I. Early childhood
1. Toddler – 1-3 years
2. Pre school 4 - 6 years
I. Middle childhood
1. School age- 7 – 12 yrs
2
Rates of Growth and Development
1. Fetal and infancy – most rapid Growth and Development
2. Adolescent - rapid Growth and Development
3. Toddler - slow Growth period
4. Toddler and preschool - alternating rapid and slow
5. School age - slower growth
fetal and infancy - prone to develop anemia
3. Each child is unique
2 primary factors affecting Growth and Development
A. Heredity - R – race
I – intelligence
S – sex
N - nationality
4
c.) Phallic – 4 - 6 years
- site of gratification - genitals
- activity - may show exhibitionism
- increase knowledge of a sexes
- accept child fondling his/her own genitalia as normal exploration
- answer Childs question directly.
Right age to introduce sexuality – preschool
d.) Latent – 7 - 12 years
- period of suppression - no obvious development (slower growth)
- Childs libido or energy is diverted to more concrete type of thinking
Significance: helps child achieve (+) experience so ready to face conflict
of adolescence
e.) Genital – 12 - 18 years opposite sex
- site of gratification - genitals
- achieve sexual maturity and satisfactory
- learns to establish relationships with opposite sex.
Significance: give an opportunity to relate to opposite sex.
2. ERIC ERICKSON - trained in psychoanalysis theory
- stresses important of culture and society to the
development of ones personality
Importance
a. environment
b. culture
Stages of Psychosocial
a)Trust vs. Mistrust – 0 - 18 months.
Alert!
- foundations of all psychosocial task
- to give and receive is the psychosocial theme
To know to develop trust on baby
1. satisfy needs on time - breastfeed
2. care must be consistent and adequate - both parents - 1st 1 year of life
3. give an experience that will add to security- touch, hugs and kisses, eye to
eye
contact, soft music.
b)Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt 18 months - 3 years
– independence / self government
To develop autonomy on toddler
1. give an opportunity of decision making like offer choices.
2. encourage to make decision rather then judge.
3. set limits – moral obligations of the parent
5
To develop:
- give opportunities to explore new places and events
Activities recommended:
- modeling clay, finger painting will enhance imagination
and creativity and further enhances fine motor development
d.) Industry vs. Inferiority 7 - 12 yrs
- child learns how to do things well
To develop:
- give opportunity on short assignments and projects
e.) Identity vs role confusion or diffusion 12 - 18 yrs
- learns who he/she is or what kind of person he/ she will become by adjusting
to new body image and seeking emancipation or freedom from parents
f.) Intimacy vs. Isolation 20 – 40 years up to 45 years old
- looking for a lifetime partner and career focus
g.) Generatively vs. Stagnation 40 – 45 – 60 – 65 years old
h.) Ego Integrity vs. Despair 60 – 65 years old and above
3. JEAN PIAGET – a Swiss psychologists ; cognitive
- develop reasoning power
STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
A. Sensory Motor 0 - 2 years
- “practical intelligence”- words and symbols not yet available
- baby communicates through senses and reflexes.
(sub divided)
Schema Age Behavior
1.) Neonate Reflex 1 month All reflexes
2.) Primary Circular 1-4 - Activity related to body
months - repetition of behavior
ex. thumb sucking
3.) Secondary Circular Reaction 4-8 - activity not related to body
months - discover object and person’s
permanence
- “memory traces are present”
- anticipate familiar events.
4.) Coordination of Secondary 8 - 12 - exhibit goal directed behavior
Reaction months - increase of separateness (will
search of lost toy, knows mom)
5.) Tertiary Circular Reaction 12 - 18 - use trial and error to discover
months characteristics of places and events
-“ invention of new means”
- capable of space and time perception
(hits fork, spoon on table or drops fork)
6. ) Invention of New Means 18 - 24 - transitional phase to the pre operational
thru mental combination months thought period.
6
B. Preoperational Thought 2-7 years
Schema Age Behavior
Preconceptual 2-4 - thinking basically complete literal and static
years - egocentric - unable to view on others view point
- concept of TIME is only now
- concept of distance is only as far as they can see.
- concept of animism inanimate object is alive
(animism is the main reason why they are afraid in the dark
places)
-not aware of concept of reversibility - in every action there is
an opposite reaction or cause and effect
Initiative 4-7 Beginning of causation
years
C. Concrete Operational Thought 7 - 12 years
1. able to find solution to everyday problems with systematic reasoning.
2. have concept of reversibility- cause and effect ( in every action there is an
opposite reaction )
3. have concept of conservation – constancy despite of transformation.
Activity Recommended:
– collecting and classifying Such as in collection of stamps, stationeries,
dolls, rubber band markers.
D. Formal Operational thought 12 and up.
1. Cognition achieved its final form
2. can deal with past present and future
3. have abstract and mature thoughts.
4. can find solutions to hypothetical problems with scientific reasoning.
Activity: will sort out opinions and current events.
4. KOHLBERG - recognized the theory of moral development as considered to
closely approximate cognitive stages of development
(“ sabay” with cognitive development )
7
Stages of Moral development
Infancy – “ pre-moral, pre-religious, amoral stage”
AGE STAGE DESCRIPTION
Pre-conventional Level I
2 - 3 years 1 Punishment/ obedience orientation (“heteronomous
morality”) Child does right because a parent tells him
or her to and to avoid punishment
4 – 7 years 2 Individualism. Instrumental purpose and exchange.
Carries out action to satisfy own needs rather than
society. Will do something for another if that person
does something for the child.
Conventional Level II
7 – 10 years 3 Orientation to interpersonal relations of mutuality.
Child follows rules because of a need to be a “good”
person in own eyes and eyes of others.
10 – 12 years 4 Maintenance of social order fixed rules and authority.
Child finds following rules satisfying. Follows rules of
Authority figures as well as parents in an effort to keep
the “system” working.
Post-conventional Level III
Above 12 years 5 Social contract, utilitarian level making perspectives.
Follows standards of society for good of all people
6 Universal ethical Principle orientation. Follows
internalized standards of conduct.
1.E DEV’T MILESTONES – means major markers of growth and development
E. 1. Period of infancy - universal language of child - play
a.) Play - Infancy- solitary plays
- solo, non interactive example: rattles, mobiles, teeters, music box
- facilitate motor and sensory development
Note: In choosing toys: safety - important age appropriate
b) Fear of Infancy - stranger anxiety begin
Alert: begins at 6 - 7 months; peak - 8 months ; diminishes - 9 months
c.) Milestone
Neonate – largely reflex; complete head lag; hands fisted; cry without tears; visual
fixation for human face
1 month - dance reflex disappears looks at mobile
2 months - holds head up when in prone,
- social smile,
- baby coos “doing sound”
- cry with tears
- closure of posterior fontanel 2 - 3 months
- head lag when pulled to sitting position.
SHUNTS - shortcuts
Ductus Venosus - shunts from liver to Inferior Vena Cava
Foramen Ovale - shunts between 2 atrias

What will sustain 1st breath - decreased artery pressure
What will initiate lung circulation - lung expansion
What will complete circulation - cutting of cord
A. 2 way to facilitate closure - of foramen ovale
a.) Tangential Foot slap - slap foot of baby to make the baby cry
Alert: - never stimulate the baby to cry if secretions not fully drained to prevent
aspiration
- check characteristic of cry
normal cry- strong, vigorous and lusty cry “UHA”
cri-du-chat syndrome-chromosomal obliteration / cat like cry or meow
like cry
b.) Proper Positioning - right side lying position
- will increase pressure on left and foramen ovale will close
Foramen Ovale and Ductus arteriosus will begin to close within 24 hours
Obliteration - means complete closure
Disadvantages:
1. Possibility of transfer HEP B, HIV, cytomegalo virus(CMV)
2. No iron
3. Father can’t feed & bond as well
C. Stages of Breastmilk:
1. Colostrum – 2 - 4 days present
content: decrease fats
increase IgA
decrease CHO
increase CHON
increase minerals
increase fat soluble vitamins
2. Transitional milk - 4 – 14 days
content: increase lactose
increase water soluble vitamins
increase minerals
3. Mature milk - 14 days & up
content: Increase Fats (linoleic acid) – cause for higher IQ
( responsible for the development of the brain &
integrity of skin )
Increase CHO - lactose – easily digested, that is
why the baby not constipated ( responsible for
sour milk smelling odor of stool )
21
- feed baby on last breast that you feed her with alternately
( if not emptied - mastitis)
Problems experienced in Breastfeeding :
Changes in breast post partum:
a.) Engorgement - feeling of fullness & tension in the breast.
- sometimes accompanied by fever known as MILK FEVER.
Management: Warm compress - for breastfeeding mom
Cold compress – for bottle feeding & wear snug
supportive bra.
When is involution of breast? - 4 weeks
0 1 2
Heart Rate - absent < 100 > 100
Respiratory effort - absent - slow, irregular, - good strong cry
weak
Muscle tone - flaccid extremities - some flexion - well flexed

lower extremities
* ECG – hypertrophy Left ventricle
Management: close heart surgery
B. CYANOTIC HEART DEFECTS Right to Left
Outstanding Symptoms:
1. cyanosis after the 1st cry (due to no oxygenation)
Mechanism to decrease
polycythemia – increased RBC = compensatory mechanism to decrease
Oxygen supply = viscous blood causing =thrombus = embolus = stroke
(complications)
2. ECG – cardiomegaly
Management:
Palliative repair – rashkind procedure
Complete repair – mustard repair
2. Total Anomalous Pulmonary
venous return – pulmonary vein instead of entering Left atrium, enters Right
31
atrium or Superior Vena Cava
• Increased pressure on Right so blood goes to Left (open foramen Ovale)
• Right to Left Shunting supplying the body mixture with blood
Outstanding Sx: Open foramen ovale
Mild to moderate cyanosis
Polycythemia = thrombus = embolus = stroke
Asplenia - absent spleen
Management: Restructuring of heart

characterized by erythema, dryness and PAIN
example: sunburn, heals by regeneration from 1 – 10 days
2nd degree – (partial thickness) – involves the entire epidermis & portion of
dermis, characterized by erythema, blisters, moist from exudates
which is extremely painful
example: scalds
rd
3 degree – (full thickness) – involves both skin layers, epidermis and dermis/
may involve adipose tissue, fascia, muscle & bone. It is leathery,

shiny white – lechenification
Goal of care: decrease pruritus – avoid food allergens
Diet: Isomil or Nutramigen
Hydrate skin with a borow solution topical steroid such as
1% hydrocortisone cream
Prevent infection – proper handwashing, trim nails: cut it short
* IMPETIGO - skin disease.
Causative agent – cause by group A beta Hemolytic streptococcus characterized by
Papulo-vesicular surrounded by localized erythema – becoming
purulent and oozes forming a honey colored crust
Pediculosiscapitis –“KUTO”
Management: proper hygiene – wash soap and water
Sequelae: oral penicillin – bactroban ointment
Can lead to acute glomerulonephritis AGN

* ANEMIA - pallor
Possible Causes:
1.) early cutting of cord – preterm – cut umbilical cord ASAP
fullterm – cut umbilical cord when pulsation stops
2.) Bleeding disorders – blood dyscrasias
* HEMOPHILIA – deficiency of clotting factor.
- X linked recessive – inheritance
* If mom – carrier, son – affected
* If father carrier - transmitted to daughter
Diagnostic test :
PTT. Partial thromboplastin time – reveals deficiency in clotting factor
Long Term Goal- prevention of injury
Nursing Diagnosis: increase risk of injury
Health Teaching:
1. avoid contact sport, swimming only
2. don’t stop immunization – just change gauge of needle
“Falls” – immobilized , elevate affected part, apply gentle pressure
- not more then 10 minutes
- cold compress
3. determine case before doing invasive procedure
Alert: NO ASPIRIN
* LEUKEMIA - group of malignant disease characterized by rapid proliferation of
immature White Blood Cell (5,000 – 10,000 cucmm3 )
WBC – protection from infection, soldiers of body
Classification :
1. Lympho – affects lymphatic system
2. acute / blastic- affects immature cell Acute Lymphocytic
3. Myelo – affects bone marrow Leukemia
4. chronic/ cystic- affects mature cells (Most common Cancer)
Signs & Symptoms:

Therapeutic Management:
TRIAD: for CANCER
1. surgery
2. irradiation
3. chemotherapy
Focus Nursing Care: prevent infection
4 LEVELS OF CHEMOTHERAPHY
1. For Induction – goal of treatment: to achieve remission
Medications: IV vincristine
L- agpariginase
Oral prednisone
2. For Sanctuary - treat leukemic cells that invaded testes & CNS
Give: 1. Methotrixate - administer intrathecally via CNS or spine
2. Cytocine
3. Arabinoside, steroids with irradiation
3. For maintenance - to continue remission
Give: oral methotrisate – check WBC
- administration of methotrisate
– do weekly White Blood Cell check-up
oral 6 Mercaptopurine; Cytarabine
4. For Reinduction – reduce leukemic cells after relapse occurs.
Medications: same as induction
5. Antigout Agents: allopurinol or Zyloprim
- treat or prevent hyperurecemic nephropathy.
Nursing Management:
1. Assess the common side effects of chemotherapy
Outstanding nursing diagnosis: alteration in nutrition less body requirement.
Based on Maslow’s hierarchy “ Physiologic” – always the first priority
Side Effect of Chemotherapy:
1. Nausea and Vomiting – administer antiemetic drugs 30 minutes before
chemotherapy and continue until 1 day after chemotherapy
2. Ulcerations / stomatitis / abscess of oral mucosa- (alteration nutrition less than
body requirement)
oral care: 1. alcohol free mouthwash
2. betadine mouthwash
3. don’t brush
4. use cotton pledgets
5. topical xylocaine before meals
diet: soft, bland diet according to child’s preference
Temporary Side Effects of chemotherapy:
a. Alopecia – altered body image
b. Hirsutism – hair
Health Teaching:
– give emotional support to parents
41
3. Hemolytic Disorders: destruction of RBC
a. Rh Incompatibility – Rhesus – Monkey
↓
Foreign Body CHON
Mother (-) = no antigen (no protein factor)
Father (+) = has antigen (protein factor)
Erythroblastosis Fetalis – Hemolysis - ↓oxygen carrying → IUGR with pathological
jaundice within 24 hours
Rhogan – a vaccine given to Rh (-) given to mother within 72 hours to destroy fetal RBC
hence preventing Rh sensitization after 72 hours – should not be given
Destroyed RBC
HEME GLOBULIN
IRON PROTOPORPHYRIN
42
Yellow – Jaundice
Hyperbilirubinemia - > 12 mg/dL of indirect bilirubin among full term
Normal – 0 - 3 mg/dL (indirect bilirubin)
