Communicable Disease
![Page 2: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Communicable Diseases
– An illness that is transmitted by contact with body fluids•directly transmitted• acquired from a person or vector (ticks,
mosquitoes, or other animal)
– indirectly transmitted • by contact with contaminated objects.
![Page 3: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Communicable Diseases
of childhood include diseases with high transmission rates– Viruses are the leading cause of most
pediatric infections
![Page 4: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Communicable Diseases
• The poor hygiene behaviors of young children promote the transmission of infectious diseases
• The fecal-oral and respiratory routes are the most common sources of transmission in children.
• Young children may not wash their hands after toileting unless closely supervised.

ImmunizationsImmunizationsImmunizationsImmunizations
![Page 6: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Immunizations• Prevention of any illness is always
better than treatment
• Vaccines are the single best technique for prevention
• Vaccines are the safer choice to getting the disease
![Page 7: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Immunization Schedule
–By 24 Months children should have:
– 4 Dtap, Hib, PCV
– 3 Hep B, IVP
– 1 MMR, varicella
![Page 8: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Immunizations• Are either inactivated or activated • Inactivated include Dtap, Hib, Hep
• Activated (live) multiplies for days-weeks in body MMR, Varicella
![Page 9: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Reactions• Vaccines are very safe and have
little chance for side effects• Side effects are minor and occur
with in days of administration• Reactions to live vaccines can
occur 30-60 days post vaccine (usually in older children)
![Page 10: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Reaction to Vaccines
local tendernesserythemaswelling at sitelow grade fever (possibly high
with activated)behavior changes, irritability
![Page 11: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Adverse Events• National Law to provide care for
those affected by a vaccine’s adverse event
• Law requires nurses to– Obtain consent prior to vaccine– record lot #, manufacturer, exp.
date of vaccine after administration
![Page 12: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Barriers to Immunization
• Complexity of the health care system• Expense• Inaccurate recordkeeping• Reluctance of health care workers to
give more than two vaccines at a time• Lack of public awareness of vaccines• Parental misconceptions
![Page 13: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Parental Misconceptions
• Parents may understand the dangers inherent in some of these diseases– suffering, permanent disability, death
• Unimmunized children are at a greater risk of getting the disease and of spreading it to pregnant women and to infants and children with serious medical conditions.
![Page 14: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Parental Misconceptions
• Misconception:
Vaccine-preventable diseases have been eliminated
Correct Information
•Travelers may reintroduce the disease •Recent outbreaks of measles, mumps, and pertussis have been linked to groups of children not immunized
![Page 15: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Parental Misconceptions
• Misconception:
• Immunization weakens the immune system.
• Fear of giving multiple vaccines.
• Correct Information
• Child’s immune system is capable of several immunizations at once
• No effect on immune system
![Page 16: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Parental Misconceptions
• Misconception:
• Vaccines may cause serious conditions, such as autism
• Correct Information
• Numerous studies have confirmed the lack of association between the measles vaccine and autism, as well as thimerosal in vaccines and autism
![Page 17: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Nursing ResponsibilitiesAssessment: • Identify recent exposure• Identify prodromal symptoms
–s/s occur early in disease• Locate immunization history• Confirm history of having the
disease
![Page 22: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Nursing Responsibilities
Implementation:
1. prevent spread-isolation2. reduce risk of cross
contamination3. prevent complications4. provide comfort

Varicella (Chicken Pox)• Varicella Virus• Vaccine available• Transmitted by respiratory secretions in
contact and droplet, contaminated objects
Communicable 1 day before eruption of vesicles to 6 days after first crop of vesicles have formed
![Page 25: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Varicella• Begins with slight fever, maliase, anorexia• In 24 hours highly itchy rash primarily over trunk• Starts as a macule which progresses into a papule
and then a vesicle surrounded by erythema base• The fluid becomes cloudy, breaks and crusts over
![Page 26: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Varicella• The Key to diagnosis is varying stages
of rash• Rash starts on trunk and progresses to
body including genitalia, mucous membranes
• Also can detect presence of disease after 1 month through serum antibody testing
![Page 27: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Management • Isolation at home until vesicles dry (2-3 weeks)
and 1 week after lesions are gone• Very young and immunocompromised may
need isolation in hospital• Relief of itching• Antiviral agents• Treat secondary complications (bacterial
infections from scratching)
![Page 28: Communicable Diseases 2012 Student Version](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070413/55cf93ff550346f57b9f0764/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
