The group chose this case because it is interesting and because of its popularity
worldwide, and the fact that it has millions of deaths each year especially in South Africa. This
was also the first time of the group to handle patient with this kind of case. Although malaria is
not common in the Philippines, it is important to know about the nature of this disease. Many
countries are seeing an increasing number of imported malaria cases due to extensive travel and
migration, and because many of our fellowmen are working in different countries worldwide.
The group would also like to know and understand what this disease was all about. The
pathology and physiology of malaria, its signs and symptoms, its treatments, prevention and its
complications if not treated immediately. ecause of these reasons, this case study was made.

Ãc The environment of the patient to assist patient in recovery, the group choose the theory
of Florence Nightingale because it suit to the case of the patient. The theory focuses on
changing and manipulating the environment in order to put the patient in the best possible
Õ
c c c c
conditions for nature to act. Nightingale identified 5 environmental factors: fresh air, pure
water, efficient drainage, cleanliness/sanitation and light/direct sunlight.
ºoncerns of Environmental Theory
1. Proper ventilation
. Light has quite as real and tangible effects to the body.
Õ. ºleanliness and sanitation.
Ú. Warmth, quiet and diet environment.
5. Unnecessary noise is not healthy for recuperating patients.
6. £ietary intake.
The theory is simply explained as the nurse, patient and environment interacts with each
other. There are dangers in the environment and benefits from the good environment. The role of
environmental management to patient recovery is greatly emphasized, it manipulates
environment to prevent diseases. Nurse-patient relationship focuses on cooperation and
collaboration. Nigthingale¶s theory focuses on eating pattern and food preference of the patients,
provision of comfort, and protection from emotional distress and conservation of energy.

Malaria is one of the most common infectious diseases and an enormous public health
problem. Five species of the plasmodium parasite can infect humans; the most serious forms of
the disease are caused by ^ . Malaria caused by ^ ,
^
and ^
causes milder disease in humans that is not
generally fatal. A fifth species, ^
, causes malaria in macaques but can also
infect humans. This group of human-pathogenic ^ species is usually referred to as
.
Ú
c c c c
Although some are under development, no vaccine is currently available for malaria that
provides a high level of protection; preventive drugs must be taken continuously to reduce the
risk of infection. These prophylactic drug treatments are often too expensive for most people
living in endemic areas. Most adults from endemic areas have a degree of long-term infection,
which tends to recur, and also possess partial immunity (resistance); the resistance reduces with
time, and such adults may become susceptible to severe malaria if they have spent a significant
amount of time in non-endemic areas. They are strongly recommended to take full precautions if
they return to an endemic area.

Symptoms of malaria include fever, shivering, headache, nausea, fatigue, tiredness,
vomiting, hemoglobinuria, retinal damage, and convulsions. The classic symptom of malaria is
cyclical occurrence of sudden coldness followed by rigor and then fever and sweating lasting
four to six hours. ^ can have recurrent fever every Õ6±Ú hours or a less pronounced
and almost continuous fever. For reasons that are poorly understood, but that may be related to
high intracranial pressure, children with malaria frequently exhibit abnormal posturing, a sign
indicating severe brain damage. Malaria has been found to cause cognitive impairments,
especially in children. It causes widespread anemia during a period of rapid brain development
and also direct brain damage. This neurologic damage results from cerebral malaria to which
children are more vulnerable. ºerebral malaria is associated with retinal whitening, which may
be a useful clinical sign in distinguishing it from other causes of fever.

c c c c
Severe malaria is almost exclusively caused by ^ infection and usually arises
6±1Ú days after infection. ºonsequences of severe malaria include coma and death if untreated²
young children and pregnant women are especially vulnerable. Splenomegaly (enlarged spleen),
severe headache, cerebral ischemia, hepatomegaly (enlarged liver), hypoglycemia, and
hemoglobinuria with renal failure may occur. Severe malaria can progress extremely rapidly and
cause death within hours or days. In the most severe cases of the disease fatality rates can exceed
0%, even with intensive care and treatment. In endemic areas, treatment is often less
satisfactory and the overall fatality rate for all cases of malaria can be as high as one in ten. Over
the longer term, developmental impairments have been documented in children who have
suffered episodes of severe malaria.
ºhronic malaria is seen in both ^ and ^
, but not in ^ . Here, the
disease can relapse months or years after exposure, due to the presence of latent parasites in the
liver. £escribing a case of malaria as cured by observing the disappearance of parasites from the
bloodstream can, therefore, be deceptive. The longest incubation period reported for a ^
infection is Õ0 years. Approximately one in five of ^ malaria cases in temperate areas
involve overwintering by hypnozoites (i.e., relapses begin the year after the mosquito bite).

c c c c
this preparation. Thick films allow the microscopic to screen a larger volume of blood and are
about eleven times more sensitive than the thin film, so picking up low levels of infection is
easier on the thick film, but the appearance of the parasite is much more distorted and therefore
distinguishing between the different species can be much more difficult. With the pros and cons
of both thick and thin smears taken into consideration, it is imperative to utilize both smears
while attempting to make a definitive diagnosis.
^
c
Malaria transmission can be reduced by preventing mosquito bites with mosquito nets
and insect repellents, or by mosquito control measures such as spraying insecticides inside
houses and draining standing water where mosquitoes lay their eggs. Work has been done on
malaria vaccines with limited success and more exotic controls, such as genetic manipulation of
mosquitoes to make them resistant to the parasite have also been considered.
Methods used to prevent the spread of disease, or to protect individuals in areas where
malaria is endemic, include prophylactic drugs, mosquito eradication, and the prevention of
mosquito bites. The continued existence of malaria in an area requires a combination of high
human population density, high mosquito population density, and high rates of transmission from
humans to mosquitoes and from mosquitoes to humans. However, unless the parasite is
eliminated from the whole world, it could become re-established if conditions revert to a
combination that favors the parasite's reproduction.

out that the theory of Erikson correlates with the information that we¶ve gathered to the patient.
According to the patient, he really loves his wife and their relationship. The patient worked for
two years abroad and returned once a year, with the two year gap in their relationship, trust still
remained between them and with these feelings, their relationship surmounted all doubt and
became better than it was before.c

According to this theory, the genital stage correlates to the patient¶s age because the
patient wanted to gain independence and decision making by working and from his age the
patient wanted to be a good husband to his wife and father to their children. When it comes with
decision making, the patient is the one who make decision for his problem as long as he knows
that he can solve it with his own. The patient is in the stage of independency.

The patient works as electrician in Africa for almost two years, and the environment

The falciform ligament attaches the liver to the abdominal wall and diaphragm and
divides the liver into a larger right lobe and a smaller left lobe.
In 195Î, the french surgeon ºlaude ºouinaud described
liver segments. Since then, radiographic studies describe
an average of twenty segments based on distribution of
blood supply. Each segment has its own independent
vascular and biliary branches. Surgeons utilize these
independent segments when performing liver resection for
tumor or transplantation. There are at least three reasons
why segmental resection is superior to simple wedge
resection. First, segmental resection minimizes blood loss
0
c c c c
because vascular density is reduced at the borders between segments. Second, it results in
improved tumor removal for those cancers which are disseminated via intrasegmental
branches of the portal vein. Third, segmental resection spares normal liver allowing for
repeat partial hepatectomy.
Each segment of the liver is further divided into
lobules. Lobules are usually represented as discrete
hexagonal aggregations of hepatocytes. The
hepatocytes assemble as plates which radiate from a
central vein. Lobules are served by arterial, venous
and biliary vessels at their periphery. This model is
useful for teaching purposes but more closely
resembles the adult pig lobule than the human.
Human lobules have little connective tissue
separating one lobule from another. The paucity of
connective tissue makes it more difficult to identify
the portal triads and the boundaries of individual
lobules. ºentral veins are easier to identify due to
their large lumen and because they lack connective
tissue that invests the portal triad vessels.
Lobules consist of hepatocytes and the spaces between them. Sinusoids are the spaces
between the plates of hepatocytes. Sinusoids receive blood from the portal triads. About
5% of total cardiac output enters the sinusoids via terminal portal and arterial vessels.
Seventy-five percent of the blood flowing into the liver comes through the portal vein;
the remaining 5% is oxygenated blood that is carried by the hepatic artery. The blood
mixes, passes through the sinusoids, bathes the hepatocytes and drains into the central
vein. About 1.5 liters of blood exit the liver every minute.
The liver is central to a multitude of physiologic functions, including:
ºlearance of damaged red blood cells & bacteria by phagocytosis.

Patient Facebook is a Î year old, electrician in South Africa. He works and lives
there for almost two years, and he came here in the Philippines only once a year. The
patient came back here in the Philippines not for vacation but because his father died. ut
after two weeks he experienced body malaise, sweating and high fever with a temperature
of Õ9 º. At first patient Facebook was admitted at Manila £octor¶s Hospital last April 5,
which was his first time hospitalization. Then after six days, April 11 Patient Facebook
was discharged with a diagnosis of Plasmodium Falcifarum Malaria. Patient Facebook
was recovered but after Õ days, he experienced again the symptoms of Malaria, he
experienced on and off fever, body malaise and loss of appetite. So the patient¶s wife
decided to admit his again at Manila £octor¶s Hospital, but the hospital decided to refer
the patient at San Lazaro Hospital for malarial smear. The wife of the patient agreed
because they can¶t afford the fee in Manila £octors Hospital.
Upon admission to San Lazaro Hospital Pavilion six (6), last April 6, which was
nd
his time hospitalization the result of malarial smear was positive that is why he need
to be confined for more observation. The patient had an IVF £50.9 at Ú0 cc/hr. The
patient was ordered again for malarial smear and resulted to negative that is why the
Artemether/Lumefantrine which was his only drug was hold. ased on our interview with
him, he was the only one in his family that has this kind of disease and he considered that
he got this infection in South Africa where he works and lives. ecause according to
patient Facebook, the environment there is forest and shaded mountain with river.
According to him also, in South Africa the malaria case is epidemic. ºurrently the patient
is still at recovery stage, he doesn¶t have fever and he only felt slight body malaise. The
patient said that he is feeling better now unlike before.
£uring our duty with Patient Facebook, we gave health teachings to him and to
his wife to promote wellness such as: (a) Encouraged to maintain proper sanitation orc
clean their house and surroundings, especially with those areas that mosquitoes can
live;(b) Encouraged also to eat nutritious foods such as vegetables and fruits.1c % &c
Advised the importance of cleanliness at all times; (d)Encouraged patient to take enough
rest and sleep; (e) Advised patient to have daily exercise, only those activities which he
can tolerate and (f)emphasize the importance of having a proper hygiene and hand
washing.
