Erick Erickson

Middle Adulthood: 65 to deathMaleEgo Development Outcome: Generativity vs. Self absorption or StagnationBasic Strengths: Production and CareNow work is most crucial. Erikson observed that middle-age is when we tend to be occupied with creative and meaningful work and with issues surrounding our family. Also, middle adulthood is when we can expect to "be in charge," the role we've longer envied.

PiagetFormal operational(11 years and up)MaleThe patient Can solve hypothetical problems with scientific reasoning, understands causality and can deal with the past, present and future.

Sigmund Freud

Puberty to Death

MaleThe GenitalStageErogenous Zone: Maturing Sexual InterestsDuring the final stage of psychosexual development, the individual develops a strong sexual interest in the opposite sex. This stage begins during puberty but last throughout the rest of a person's life. Where in earlier stages the focus was solely on individual needs; interest in the welfare of others grows during this stage. If the other stages have been completed successfully, the individual should now be well-balanced, warm and caring. The goal of this stage is to establish a balance between the various life areas.

VIII. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF FLAIL CHEST

PRECIPITATING FACTORS:AgeGenderPREDISPOSING FACTORS:Diet Trauma (Motorcycle accident)

Diet: Decreased Calcium and minerals needed for healthy bones in the dietDecreased bone density (Fragile and weak bone) and higher affinity to sustain fracture Men are tend to have higher and heavier workload

Force or direct blow exerted against rib cage stronger than structurally withstand

In upper rib, potential injury to the pleural or intra-abdominal visceraPotential injury to the lung parenchyma by direct penetrationInjury and fracture to the rib cage

Interfere with normal costovertebral and diaphragmatic muscle excursion, potentially causing ventilatory insufficiencyHematoma formation at fracture site. Tissue inflammation resulting in pain.

VI. INTRODUCTION Aflail chestis a life-threatening medical condition that occurs when a segment of therib cagebreaks under extreme stress and becomes detached from the rest of thechest wall. It occurs when multiple adjacent ribs are broken in multiple places, separating a segment, so a part of the chest wall moves independently. The flail segment moves in the opposite direction as the rest of the chest wall: because of the ambient pressure in comparison to the pressure inside the lungs, it goes in while the rest of the chest is moving out, and vice versa. This so-called "paradoxical motion" can increase the work and pain involved in breathing. Flail chest is invariably accompanied bypulmonary contusion, a bruise of the lung tissue that can interfere with blood oxygenation. The constant motion of the ribs in the flail segment at the site of the fracture is extremely painful, and, untreated, the sharp broken edges of the ribs are likely to eventually puncture the pleural sac and lung, possibly causing apneumothorax. Typical paradoxical motion is associated with stiff lungs, which requires extra work for normal breathing, and increased lung resistance, which makes air flow difficult.

VII. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE AFFECTED BODY PART

PHYSIOLOGY OF THE LUNGS LUNGS The lung is the essential respiration organ. The right lung is divided into 3 lobes (upper, middle and lower) whereas the left has only 2 (upper and lower).

BRONCHIAL TREE When people inhale, air moves down the trachea or windpipe. The trachea splits into two pipes called the right and left main stem bronchus. Each bronchus provides an air passageway to a lung. Each bronchus continues to divide into many bronchi, or small pipes, which further divide throughout the lungs into millions of tiny branches called bronchioles. This system of bronchi and bronchioles is referred to as the bronchial tree. The bronchial tubes are lined with very small hair-like structures called cilia. Cilia use a constant wave-like motion to carry mucus up the airway to the throat where it is either swallowed or coughed out.

ALVEOLI At the end of each bronchiole are small sacs called alveoli. Alveoli are responsible for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide. This process helps remove foreign substances and germs from the respiratory system to reduce the risk of infection.

LOBES The right lung is divided into three sections called lobes. This tissue contains the bronchioles, alveoli, and capillaries necessary for oxygenation of the blood. The left lung has only two lobes because of its anatomical position (next to the heart) in the chest cavity.

PLEURA The lungs are surrounded by a membrane called the pleura. This membrane wraps around each lung and helps to separate them from the wall of the chest cavity. A very small amount of fluid is present between the pleural linings. It acts as a lubricant during lung inflation and deflation, easing inspiration and expiration.

RIB CAGE Also known as the thoracic cage, is a bony and cartilaginous structure which surrounds the thoracic cavity and supports the pectoral girdle, forming a core portion of the human skeleton. A typical human rib cage consists of 24 ribs, the sternum (with Xiphoid process), costal cartilages, and the 12 thoracic vertebrae. It, along with the skin and associated fascia and muscles, makes up the thoracic wall and provides attachments for the muscles of the neck, thorax, upper abdomen, and back.

DIAPHRAGM The diaphragm is the muscle responsible for inflating and expanding the lungs. When your inhale, the diaphragm muscle contracts and presses the bottom parts of the left and right lung, causing the lungs to inflate. When you exhale, the diaphragm relaxes

Activity intolerance related to multiple rib fractureIt is a state in which a person has insufficient physical or psychological energy to endure or perform desired physical activities this could be related to any pain or discomfort that a patient feels. Rib fracture may induce pain and may hinder in performing an activity.After 2 hours of nursing interventionsthe patient will be able to tolerate simple activities.Identify the activities thepatient canperform which are very essential torefrain patientfrom doingnonessentialactions

Assist with activities of daily living.

Encourage to perform deep breathing exercise.

Encourage adequate rest periodsespeciallybefore ambulation and meals-To assess activities that he can perform when in pain

-To reduce energyexpenditure but avoid doing things for patient when he can stillperform toincrease patients self-esteem

-To help reduce the pain by relaxation of muscles

Objective: Weak in appearance Restlessness Guarding behavior Facial grimace noted Irritability Use of accessory muscle in breathingVital Signs:BP: 110/80 mmHgPR: 110 bpmRR: 28 bpmTEMP.: 36.8oC

Acute pain related to 6th-9th segmented rib fracture The constant motion of the ribs in the flail segment at the site of the fracture is extremely painful.The patient will establish relief of pain and decrease in pain scale of 8/10 to 2/10 after 1 hour of rendering nursing interventions.INDEPENDENT:Monitor vital signs

Determine clients acceptable level of pain or pain control goals.Assess fro referred pain as possible

Instruct use of relaxation technique such as: focus breathing.Assist in repositioning

Assist client to learn proper breathing techniquesObserve for non verbal cues and pain behaviors

Encourage adequate rest periods

Provide and discuss with individual exercise program if toleratedDEPENDENT:Administer analgesics as ordered.

-To establish baseline data and this is usually altered in acute pain.-Pain perception varies with individual and situation.-To help determine the underlying condition or organ dysfunction -To distract attention and reduce tension.

-Repositioning may decrease pain

-To assist in muscle and generalized relaxation-Observation may not be congruent with the verbal report

-To prevent fatigue and oxygen consumption

-To promote active rather than passive role and enhances sense of control- reduces the oxidized form of the COX enzyme, preventing it from forming pro-inflammatory chemicals. This leads to a reduced amount of prostaglandin E2 in the CNS, thus lowering the hypothalamic set-point in the thermoregulatory centre

GOAL METAfter 1hour of nursing intervention patient had established relieved of pain and had a pain scale of 2/10
