I.INTRODUCTION

Our human body is a very complex system. One functions for the benefit and or expense of another. Our subsystem is a vital as the other thus they are interrelated. Considering this fact, I have looked into the reality that in this diverse physiological wonder lies the infinite possibility of not only optimum functioning but of disparities and deviations as well. In life, one continues to exist in oblivion. There are always uncertainties in every events and occurrences whirl through our lives. We do not know when is the exact point in time where our bodily homeostasis will be disturbed and when change will cease to happen. Some of the surprising changes can be considered blessings but most the time they are we fervently hope would not occur especially those that concern our health. In this particular case study, I wish to present the case of my patient, A.K.A. K.B. of Brgy. Vito, Sagay City. He was admitted at CLMMRH for the reason of high fever with the admitting diagnosis: Kawasaki Disease. Kawasaki disease (mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome) is a form of vasculitis identified by an acute febrile illness with multiple systems affected. The cause is unknown, but autoimmunity, infection, and genetic predisposition are believed to be involved. It affects mostly children between ages 3 months and 8 years; 80% are younger than age 5. It occurs more commonly in Japanese children or those of Japanese decent. It has seasonal epidemics, usually in late winter and early spring. It was first described in 1967 by Dr. Tomisaku Kawasaki in Japan. Although Kawasaki disease is a multisystem disease, the cardiovascular system appears to be the primary site with coronary artery vasculitis, aneurysm development, thrombosis, and myocardial thrombosis progressing over days to weeks. Approximately 15% to 25% of patients develop cardiac complications (coronary thrombosis or rupture, myocardial infarction, heart failure, vasculitis of the aorta or peripheral arteries); however mortality is low. Nurses play a significant role in the management and care of patient with conditions such as this. We play an essential part in symptom management associated with the disease and the therapy. I likewise form part in the patients support system, which is considerably a factor that has an immense effect on the cure and recovery of this type of disease. This case study is meaningfully designed to provide awareness and thorough explanation to one of the rarest diseases that occur in our country. My presentation aims to recognize the need of the people to understand the course of this disease. I have assent the implication of this research that it may encourage keenness and be a source of information to a number of people, who remains nave to this bodily infirmity. May this new means of learning be a valuable fount of vital information to people who wish to study the same disease. People shouldnt take Kawasaki Disease hideously more so to those who are concerned because management is the key. In life, hurdles and humps are sprayed to test us. It takes recognition and acceptance that even our anatomical and physiological features; Gods chisel is shaping us to be significant individual molded by pain and strength. This study does not only provide our readers of medical information but of a challenge and course of holistic spectacle as well.

II. NURSING OBJECTIVE

A. GENERAL After days of nursing interventions I may be able to choose a case study that will contribute and expand my knowledge and improve my skills on specific procedures. To formulate the appropriate nursing intervention and plan of care to prevent complications as well as to promote wellness

B. SPECIFIC I have formulated the following Specific Objectives to guide me towards the completion of this case study. That within my 5 days ward exposure, I may be able to: Establish good interpersonal and professional relationship with our patient and his accompanying family member; Identify its contribution in the fields of nursing education, practice, and research; Formulate specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time bounded objectives that will serve as a guide for the accomplishment of this study; Collect data regarding the past and present health history of our patient; Assess our patient in a cephalocaudal direction to serve as our baseline data in determining the changes in patients body; Determine and discuss the anatomy and physiology of the body systems involved, Identify the predisposing and precipitating factors that contribute to the onset of the disease; Trace the pathophysiology of the disease process; List the actual and possible symptoms that our patient my manifest; Study and relate the significance of the diagnostic examinations done; Research on the drug study of the medication given to our patient; Enumerate the actual and possible medical and nursing management rendered;

III. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Kawasaki's disease is a poorly understood condition that affects young children. It causes severe inflammation in different areas of the body, including the heart and coronary arteries. Scientists are not sure what causes inflammation of body organs seen in Kawasaki's disease. Many experts believe that a virus attacks the body, involving various organs and other tissues. Children with this disease have a severe flulike illness that usually goes away within a week or two. Twenty percent of the children with Kawasaki's disease have inflammation of the heart and coronary arteries. The skin is a soft outer covering of an animal, in particular a vertebrate. The adjective cutaneous literally means "of the skin" (from Latin cutis, skin). In mammals, the skin is the largest organ of the integumentary system made up of multiple layers of ectodermal tissue, and guards the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs. Because it interfaces with the environment, skin plays a key role in protecting (the body) against pathogens and excessive water loss. Its other functions are insulation, temperature regulation, sensation, and the protection of vitamin B folates. Red rash usually first seen on the palms and soles that then spreads to involve the torso within a couple days. The most common appearance is a hive-like rash; however it may also resemble measles (morbilliform rash), erythemai multiforme or a scarletina like rash. It is more impressive on the hands and feet than the torso and the hands and feet generally develop some swelling as well. The heart may be affected in as many as one of five children who develop Kawasaki

disease. Damage sometimes occurs to the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle (the coronary arteries) and to the heart muscle itself. A weakening of a coronary artery can result in an enlargement or swelling of the blood vessel wall (an aneurysm). Infants less than 1 year old are usually the most seriously ill and are at greatest risk for heart involvement. The acute phase of Kawasaki disease commonly lasts 10 to 14 days or more. Most children recover fully. The likelihood of developing coronary artery disease later in life is not known, and remains the subject of medical investigation. The tongue. Characteristics of strawberry tongue are sloughing of the filiform papillae (caused by the systemic inflammatory process) and persistence of the fungiform papillae, which form the "seeds" of the strawberry. Strawberry tongue is not specific to Kawasaki disease; it may also be present in streptococcal and staphylococcal toxin-mediated disease. The lymph nodes. Edema is often seen in the hands and feet and the cervical lymph nodes are often enlarged.

IV. DEFINITION OF TERMS Abdomen: The belly, that part of the body that contains all of the structures between the chest and the pelvis. Abnormal: Not normal. Deviating from the usual structure, position, condition, or behavior. In referring to a growth, abnormal may mean that it is cancerous or premalignant (likely to become cancer ).

Blood: The familiar red fluid in the body that contains white and red blood cells, platelets, proteins, and other elements. Breathing: The process of respiration, during which air is inhaled into the lungs through the mouth or nose due to muscle contraction, and then exhaled due to muscle relaxation. Coronary arteries: The vessels that supply the heart muscle with blood rich in oxygen. Disease: Illness or sickness often characterized by typical patient problems (symptoms) and physical findings (signs). Disruption sequence: Electrocardiogram: A recording of the electrical activity of the heart. An electrocardiogram is a simple, non-invasive procedure. Feet: The plural of foot, both an anatomic structure and a unit of measure. Fever: Although a fever technically is any body temperature above the normal of 98.6 degrees F. (37 degrees C.). Gamma globulin: A major class of immunoglobulins found in the blood, including many of the most common antibodies circulating in the blood. Also called immunoglobulin G (IgG). Genetic: Having to do with genes and genetic information. Gingivitis: Gum disease with inflammation of the gums. On inspection, the gums will appear red and puffy, and will usually bleed during tooth-brushing or dental examination. Treatment is by improved cleaning, with more-frequent and longer brushing and flossing.

Antiseptic mouthwashes may also be recommended. Heart: The muscle that pumps blood received from veins into arteries throughout the body. Heart muscle: A type of muscle with unique features only found in the heart. The heart muscle, or cardiac muscle, is medically called the myocardium ("myo-" being the prefix denoting muscle). Ibuprofen: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used to treat pain, swelling, and fever. Common brand names for Ibuprofen include Advil, Motrin, and Nuprin. Immune: Protected against infection. The Latin immunis means free, exempt. Immune system: A complex system that is responsible for distinguishing us from everything foreign to us, and for protecting us against infections and foreign substances. The immune system works to seek and kill invaders Inflammation: A basic way in which the body reacts to infection , irritation or other injury, the key feature being redness, warmth, swelling and pain . Inflammation is now recognized as a type of nonspecific immune response Lungs: The lungs are a pair of breathing organs located with the chest which remove carbon dioxide from and bring oxygen to the blood. There is a right and left lung. Lymph: An almost colorless fluid that travels through vessels called lymphatics in the lymphatic system and carries cells that help fight infection and disease. Lymph node: Also sometimes referred to as lymph glands, lymph nodes are small rounded or bean-shaped masses of lymphatic tissue surrounded by a capsule of connective tissue, Lymphadenopathy: Abnormally enlarged lymph nodes. Commonly called "swollen glands." Mouth: The upper opening of the digestive tract, beginning with the lips and containing the teeth, gums, and tongue. Mucous: Pertaining to mucus, a thick fluid produced by the lining of some tissues of the body. Muscle: Muscle is the tissue of the body which primarily functions as a source of power. Naproxen: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the management of mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation. Pain: An unpleasant sensation that can range from mild, localized discomfort to agony. Plasma: The liquid part of the blood and lymphatic fluid, which makes up about half of its volume. Rash: Breaking out (eruption) of the skin. Medically, a rash is referred to as an exanthem. Skin: The skin is the body's outer covering. It protects us against heat and light, injury, and infection. It regulates body temperature and stores water, fat, and vitamin D. weighing about 6 pounds, the skin is the body's largest organ. Throat: The throat is the anterior (front) portion of the neck beginning at the back of the mouth , consisting anatomically of the pharynx and larynx . The throat contains the trachea

and a portion of the esophagus. Tongue: The tongue is a strong muscle anchored to the floor of the mouth. It is covered by the lingual membrane which has special areas to detect tastes. Vein: A blood vessel that carries blood low in oxygen content from the body back to the heart. Vessel: A tube in the body that carries fluids: blood vessels or lymph vessels.

VI. NURSING HISTORY (Gordons Functional health pattern)

1. HEALTH MAINTENANCE PERCEPTION PATTERN > The client consults his doctor whenever he experiences some changes regarding his health; this includes stomach pain, high fever, and any other health problems. He never believed in hilots or any natural remedies. He takes medicines such as biogesic or tempra for fever, solmux for occasional cough and some antibiotics.

2. NUTRITION METABOLIC PATTERN > Patient eats 3 times a day and drinks water at same time. Has good appetite and has no significant dietary restrictions. They said that he is heavier before than the present. He likes to eat different kinds of foods, especially biscuits. He doesnt like foods that is not sweet and crunchy, he takes snacks at anytime and whenever he wants to.

3. ELIMINATION PATTERN > Patient approximately voids 5 times a day and defecates everyday. This is his elimination pattern before his hospitalization. Under normal conditions, client has normal elimination pattern, but due to his illness, his elimination pattern is also altered.

4. ACTIVITY AND EXERCISE PATTERN > Client is only 2 years old. He is between babyhood and early childhood stage. Characterized by rapid physical growth; increase in independence and decrease in helplessness. Also maximum learning can be attained by children at this stage; minds are like sponges which soak up knowledge. Appearance of teachable moments and control of environment is manifested.

5. SLEEP AND REST PATTERN > Client has no problem when it comes to rest or sleep periods. He sleeps 8 hours a day, from 9pm till 7 in the morning; he sometimes takes a nap in the afternoon. This is his

pattern before hospitalization, but due to his illness, he became unstable and irritable, thus sleep periods are altered.

6. COGNITIVE PERCEPTION > Client has moderate level of visual, auditory, olfactory and gustatory functioning and still cant speak or pronounce words clearly. Mental process such as perceiving, remembering, reasoning, deciding and problem solving is still in progress.

7. SELF-PERCEPTION SELF-CONCEPT PATTERN > Client is on early childhood, he learns to exercise will, to make choices and explore their world independently. If not he becomes uncertain about the world and themselves and doubt that they can do anything by themselves. Self-will exercise choice and self-restraint, no self control, and low self esteem.

8. ROLE RELATIONSHIP PATTERN > Client is the youngest from the 7 children. He learns to initiate activities and enjoy their accomplishments as play. If not, they are feeling guilty for their attempts at independence in any problem.

9. SEXUALITY RELATIONSHIP PATTERN > Client is 2 years old, and has not experienced any problem with regards to his reproductive organs and sexual response. The demand for toilet training may conflict with the childs instinctual pleasure in having bowel movements at will.

10. COPING-STRESS PATTERN > Client is 2 years old, and he tend to cry or play things/toys to cope his stress

11. VALUES AND BELIEF PATTERN > Client has no beliefs in other religions. The parents are Jehovahs witnesses and they have their own values in life that has been taught by their church. Blood transfusion and organ transplants are against their religion.

IDEAL LABORATORY STUDIES:

2-D Echocardiogram
Patients who have had Kawasaki disease should have an echocardiogram every 1 - 2 years to screen for heart problems. Echocardiography may reveal signs of myocarditis, pericarditis, arthritis, aseptic meningitis, and inflammation of the coronary arteries. The purpose of this study is to determine the size of your heart, to evaluate how well your heart is functioning or pumping and to assess the structure and function of the valves within the heart. A 2-D (or two-dimensional) echocardiogram is capable of displaying a cross-sectional "slice" of the beating heart, including the chambers, valves and the major blood vessels that exit from the left and right ventricle. A Doppler echocardiogram measures the speed and direction of the blood flow within the heart. It screens the four valves for leaks and other abnormalities. By assigning color to the direction of blood flow, (Color Flow Mapping), large areas of blood flow may be studied. These color flow mappings allow abnormal blood flow characteristics to be interpreted by the cardiologist.

CBC
The CBC test may be performed under many different conditions and in the assessment of many different diseases. It is a screening test used to diagnose and manage numerous diseases. The results can reflect problems with fluid volume (such as dehydration) or loss of blood. The test can reveal problems with red blood cell production and destruction, or help diagnose infection, allergies, and problems with blood clotting.

ESR
ESR stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate. It is a test that indirectly measures how much inflammation is in the body. However, it rarely leads directly to a specific diagnosis. This test can be used to monitor inflammatory or cancerous diseases. It is a screening test, which means it cannot be used to diagnose a specific disorder. However, it is useful in detecting and monitoring tuberculosis, tissue death, and certain forms of arthritis, autoimmune disorders, and inflammatory diseases that cause vague symptoms.

Urinalysis
Urinalysis is the physical, chemical, and microscopic examination of urine. It involves a

number of tests to detect and measure various compounds that pass through the urine. A urinalysis may be done: As part of a routine medical exam to screen for early signs of disease, If you have signs of diabetes or kidney disease, or to monitor you if you are being treated for these conditions, To check for blood in the urine and to diagnose a urinary tract infection.

Nursing considerations

1. paracetamol CLASSIFICATION: Analgesics (Non-Opioid) & Antipyretics

> Mild pain or fever -Headache, fever associated w/ colds.

> Contraindicated to patients hypersensitivity to drugs. > Use cautiously in patients with long term alcohol use because therapeutic doses cause hepatotoxicity in these patients > Contraindicated to patients hypersensitivity to drug and in those with NSAID- induced sensitivity reactions, G6PD deficiency, or bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia. >Use cautiously in patients with GI lesions, impaired renal function, vitamin K deficiency.

Hematologic: hemolytic anemia, neutropenia, leucopenia, pancytopenia. Hepatic: jaundice. Metabolic: hypoglycemia Skin: rash, urticaria.

> Many OTC and prescription products contain acetaminophen; be aware of this when calculating total daily dose. > Use liquid form for children and patients who have difficulty swallowing. > In children, dont exceed five doses in 24hrs.

2. aspirin CLASSIFICATION: Analgesics (Non-Opioid) & Antipyretics/ CNS drug

300mg, 1 tab, TID P.O.

> Mild pain or fever, Kawasaki syndrome (mucocutaneo us lymph node syndrome),

EENT: tinnitus, hearing loss. Hematologic: leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, prolonged bleeding time. GI: nausea, GI distress, occult bleeding, dyspepsia, GI bleeding. Hepatic: hepatitis. Skin: rash, bruising, urticaria. Other: angioedema, hypersensitivity reactions.

> For inflammatory conditions, rheumatic fever, and thrombosis, give aspirin on a schedule rather than p.r.n. >Because enteric-coated and sustained release tablets are slowly absorbed, they arent suitable for rapid relief of acute pain, fever, or inflammation. They cause less GI bleeding and may be better suited for long-term therapy, such as treatment of arthritis.

3. ampicillin CLASSIFICATION: Anti-infectives/ Penicillins

250mg 1 tab q6 P.O

> Fever/ infections > Skin and skin-structure infections

> Contraindicated in patients hypersensitivity to drug or other penicillins. > Use cautiously in patients with other drug allergies. Because of possible cross-sensitivity, and in those with mononucleosis, because of high risk of maculopapular rash.

CNS: lethargy, hallucinations, seizures, anxiety, confusion, agitation, depression, dizziness, fatigue CV: vein irritation, thrombophlebitis. GI: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea GU: interstitial nephritis, nephropathy, vaginitis. Skin: pain at injection site Other: hypersensitivity reactions.

> Before giving drug, ask patient about allergic reactions to pennicilins. A negative history of penicillin allergy is no guarantee against a future allergic reaction. > Obtain specimen for culture and sensitivity tests before giving first dose. Therapy may begin pending results.
