A. Present Illness

Last December 26, 2017 at around 3:30 pm, the patient complain to his father that his
stomach is aching. The patient told his father that it’s like a pricking sensation. His father
brought him to a quack doctor and gave them some medicinal plants to put on to his stomach.
According to his father, patient J.R.B has a on and off fever. He didn’t bring his son immediately
to the hospital because he thinks that it’s just only a simple fever that every child has. Tuesday
of January 9, 2018 around 10:00 am, Mr L, the father of patient J.R.B decided to bring his child
to the hospital via public transportation (bus) from Brgy. Mauyon, PPC to San Jose Terminal and
from the terminal they ride a cab to Ospital ng Palawan. While on their way to ONP, Patient JRB
experience pain on his stomach and had a fever. They arrived around 10:00 am at Emergency
Room with admitting diagnosis of T/C Splenic Abcess. Patient JRB assessed by the nurse for
about 5-8 minutes for further assessment. After, he transferred to the pediatric ward for IVF
insertion and other diagnostic test and labolatory test to conduct.

B. Past Health History

When asked, Mr. L said that his son JRB was hospitalized last 2011 due to dengue. Also, JRB
experiences simple cough and cold and fever that don’t last for a long period of time. Mr. L said
that his son didn’t experience childhood diseases such as chicken pox, mumps and measles. He
also said that the vaccines of his son are complete.

C. Family History and Genogram

Father: Mr L 42 yrs. old

Mother: Mrs B 38 yrs. old

Children:

1. 1stChild: JP 14 yrs. Old

2. 2ndChild: JRB 11 yrs. Old

3. 3rd Child: PN 7 yrs. Old

JRB is the second child in the family of 3 children. He is now 11 years old and he
is a Grade 2 student at Mauyon Elementary School. The first child of Mr L and Mrs B is
now 14 years old and their 3rd child is now 7 years old. Mr L stated that their 1st child is a
premature baby and sometimes experiences fever, cough and cold. Their 3rd child also
experiences fever, cough and cold that lasts for a short period of time. Whenever their

5
BSN2 GROUP3 SPLENOMEGALY
children become sick they go to the nearest health station to seek medical attention and
also they give Paracetamol to their child if they ahd fever. He also stated that their 3
children didn’t experiences childhood illnesses such as mumps, measles and chickenpox.

Mr L perceived that he has a history of asthma. He also had UTI and sometimes
experiences fever. His wife, Mrs B also had a UTI and sometimes experiences head ache.
Mr L is non-smoker but he drinks alcoholic beverages. There is no other Heredo Familial
Disease noted in the family.

When it comes to their needs, Mr L took the responsibility for his family. He is a
farmer. Through his farming, he supports the needs of his family every day. He is not
depending in his wife. He does his best to support the needs of his children as well as his
wife. His wife is the one who buys their supplies for everyday use and keeps the house
and take good care of their kids. .

All family members have no recorded accidents and operations. Their 1st child, 2nd
child and 3rd child completed their immunizations because they bring them regularly to
the health canter. The family is occasionally inflicted with cough, colds and fever. Self-
medication of over the counter drugs and bed rest afforded relief.

V. GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
ERIK ERIKSON-Psychosocial development theory
ERIK ERIKSON’S THEORY OF PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

STAGE TASK MANIFESTATION

5-12 years old Industry vs. Inferiority


Young Adulthood
It is at this stage that the child’s peer group will gain greater
(JRB 11 years old)
significance and will become a major source of the child’s self-
esteem. The child is coping with new learning and social demands.
Success leads to a sense of competence, while failure results in
feelings of inferiority.

Erikson’s theory describes the impact of social experience across the whole lifespan. In each stage, Erikson believed people experience a
conflict that serves as a turning point in development. In Erikson’s view, these conflicts are centered on either developing a psychological quality or failing
to develop that quality. During these times, the potential for personal growth is high, but so is the potential for failure.

8
BSN2 GROUP3 SPLENOMEGALY
Each step builds on skills learned in previous steps. Erikson
believed that a strong sense of personal identity was important for
developing intimate relationships. Studies have demonstrated that
those with a poor sense of self do tend to have less committed
relationships and are more likely to suffer emotional
isolation, loneliness, and depression.

Successful resolution of this stage results in the virtue


known as love. It is marked by the ability to form lasting,
meaningful relationships with other people.

During early adulthood most people fall in love, gets married and
starts building their own family. If a person is unable to develop
intimacy with other at this age (whether through marriage or close
friendships), they will probably continue on into adulthood.

Young adults seek companionship and love with other


person or become isolated from others by fearing reflection or
disappointment.

The young adult must develop intimate relationships or


suffer feelings of isolation.

Young people work on establishing intimate ties to others. Because

BSN2 GROUP3 SPLENOMEGALY
of earlier disappointments some individuals cannot form close
relationships and remain isolated from others.

“Intimacy achieving relationships with family and marital or


mating partners.

SIGMUND FREUD-Psychosexual Development theory

10
BSN2 GROUP3 SPLENOMEGALY
Freudian theory suggests that as children develop, they progress through a series of psychosexual stages. At each stage, the libido’s pleasure-seeking energy
is focused on a different part of the body. The successful completion of each stage leads to a healthy personality as an adult. Freud’s theory which emphasized that
how parents manage their child's sexual and aggressive drives in the first few years is crucial for healthy personality development

JEAN PIAGET-Cognitive Development

Piaget’s theory described how a child’s thinking and learning develops. He believed that knowledge is built by the child over the time.
Children are active learners in their environment and knowledge is the result of interaction between the child and the environment.

VIII. ANATOMY and PHYSIOLOGY

25
BSN2 GROUP3 SPLENOMEGALY
Internal Structures

Ovaries

 The ovaries are the ultimate life-maker for the females.


 For its physical structure, it has an estimated length of 4 cm and width of 2 cm and is 1.5
cm thick. It appears to be shaped like an almond. It looks pitted, like a raisin, but is
greyish white in color.
 It is located proximal to both sides of the uterus at the lower abdomen.
 For its function, the ovaries produce, mature, and discharge the egg cells or ova.
 Ovarian function is for the maturation and maintenance of the secondary sex
characteristics in females.

Fallopian Tubes

 The fallopian tubes serve as the pathway of the egg cells towards the uterus.
 It is a smooth, hollow tunnel that is divided into four parts: the interstitial, which is 1 cm
in length; the isthmus, which is2 cm in length; the ampulla, which is 5 cm in length; and
the infundibular, which is 2 cm long and shaped like a funnel.
 The funnel has small hairs called the fimbria that propel the ovum into the fallopian tube.
 The fallopian tube is lined with mucous membrane, and underneath is the connective
tissue and the muscle layer. The muscle layer is responsible for the peristaltic movements
that propel the ovum forward.
 The distal ends of the fallopian tubes are open, making a pathway for conception to
occur.

26
BSN2 GROUP3 SPLENOMEGALY
Uterus
 The uterus is described as a hollow, muscular, pear-shaped organ.
 It is located at the lower pelvis, which is posterior to the bladder and anterior to the
rectum.
 The uterus has an estimated length of 5 to 7 cm and width of 5 cm. it is 2.5 cm deep in its
widest part.
 For non-pregnant women, it is approximately 60g in weight.
 Its function is to receive the ovum from the fallopian tube and provide a place for
implantation and nourishment.
 It also gives protection for the growing fetus.
 It is divided into three: the body, the isthmus, and the cervix.
 The body forms the bulk of the uterus, being the uppermost part. This is also the part that
expands to accommodate the growing fetus.
 The isthmus is just a short connection between the body and the cervix. This is the
portion that is being cut during a cesarean section.
 The cervix lies halfway above the vagina, and the other half extends into the vagina. It
has an internal and external cervical os, which is the opening into the cervical canal.

Vagina

• The vagina is a muscular, ridged sheath the external genitals to the uterus, where the
embryo grows into a fetus during pregnancy. In the reproductive process, the vagina
functions as a two-way street, accepting the penis and sperm during intercourse and
roughly nine months later, serving as the avenue of birth through which the new baby
enters the world.

Cervix

• The vagina ends at the ends at the lower portion or neck of the uterus. Like the vagina,
the cervix has dual reproductive functions.

• After intercourse, sperm ejaculated in the vagina pass through the cervix, then proceed
through the uterus to the fallopian tubes where, if a sperm encounters an ovum(egg),
conception occurs. The cervix is lined with mucus, the quality and quantity is governed
by monthly fluctuations in the levels of the two principle sex hormones, estrogen and
progesterone.

27
BSN2 GROUP3 SPLENOMEGALY
External Structures

Our overview of the reproductive system begins at the external genital area-or
vulva-which runs from the pubic area downward to the rectum. Two folds of fatty, fleshy
tissue surround the entrance to the vagina and the urinary opening: the labia or outer
folds, and the labia minora, or inner folds, located under the labia majora.

Mons Veneris

 The mons veneris is a pad of fat tissues over the symphysis pubis.
 It has a covering of coarse, curly hairs, the pubic hair.
 It protects the pubic bone from trauma.

Labia Minora
 The labia minora is a spread of two connective tissue folds that are pinkish in color.
 The internal surface is composed of mucous membrane and the external surface is skin.
 It contains sebaceous glands all over the area.

Labia Majora

 Lateral to the labia minora are two folds of fat tissue covered by loose connective tissue
and epithelium, the labia majora.
 Its function is to protect the external genitalia and the distal urethra and vagina from
trauma.
 It is covered in pubic hair that serves as additional protection against harmful bacteria
that may enter the structure.

28
BSN2 GROUP3 SPLENOMEGALY
Vestibule

 It is a smooth, flattened surface inside the labia wherein the openings to the urethra and
the vagina arise.

Clitoris

 The clitoris is a small, circular organ of erectile tissue at the front of the labia minora.
 The prepuce, a fold of skin, serves as its covering.
 This is the center for sexual arousal and pleasure for females because it is highly sensitive
to touch and temperature.

Skene’s Glands

 Also called as paraurethral glands, they are found lateral to the urethral meatus and have
ducts that open into the urethra.
 The secretions from this gland lubricate the external genitalia during coitus.

Bartholin’s Gland

 Also called vulvovaginal gland, this is another gland responsible for the lubrication of the
external genitalia during coitus.
 It has ducts that open into the distal vagina.
 Both of these glands secretions are alkaline to help the sperm survive in the vagina.

Fourchette

 This is a ridge of tissue which is formed by the posterior joining of the labia minora and
majora.
 During episiotomy, this is the tissue that is cut to enlarge the vaginal opening.

Perineal Body

 This is a muscular area that stretches easily during childbirth.


 Most pregnancy exercises such as Kegel’s and squatting are done to strengthen the
perineal body to allow easier expansion during childbirth and avoid tearing the tissue.

Hymen

 This covers the opening of the vagina.

29
BSN2 GROUP3 SPLENOMEGALY
 It is tough, elastic, semicircle tissue torn during the first sexual intercourse.

Menstrual cycle

The entire duration of a menstrual cycle can be divided into four main phases:

1. Menstrual phase (from day 1-5)


2. Follicular phase (From day 1-13)
3. Ovulation phase (Day 14)
4. Luteal phase (from day 15-28)

Menstrual phase

Menstrual phase begins on the first day of menstruation and lasts still the 5th day of the menstrual
cycle. The following events occur during this phase:

 The uterus sheds its inner lining of soft tissue and blood vessels which exits the body
from the vagina in the form of menstrual fluid.
 Blood loss of 10 ml to 80 ml is considered normal.

30
BSN2 GROUP3 SPLENOMEGALY
 You may experience abdominal cramps. These cramps are caused by the contraction of
the uterine and abdominal muscles to expel the menstrual fluid.

Follicular phase (day 1-13)

This phase also begins on the first day of menstruation, but it lasts till the 13th day of the
menstrual cycle. The following events occur during this phase:

 The pituitary glands secretes a hormone that stimulates the egg cells begins in the ovaries
to grow.
 One of these egg cells begins to mature in a sac-like-structure called follicle. It takes 13
days for the egg cell to reach maturity.
 While the egg cell matures, its follicle secretes a hormone that stimulates the uterus to
develop a lining of blood vessels and soft tissue called endometrium.

Ovulation phase (day 14)

On the 14th day of the cycle, the pituitary gland secretes a hormone that causes the ovary to
release the matured egg cell. The release egg cell is swept into the fallopian tube by the cilia of
the fimbriae. Fimbriae are finger like projections located at the end of the fallopian tube close to
the ovaries and cilia are slender hair like projections on each Fimbria.

31
BSN2 GROUP3 SPLENOMEGALY
Luteal phase (15-28)

This phase begins on the 15th day and lasts till the end of the cycle. The following events
occurring during this phase:

 The egg cell released during the ovulation phase stays in the fallopian tube for 24 hours.
 If a sperm cell does not impregnate the egg cell within that time, the egg cell
disintegrates.
 The hormone that causes the uterus to retain its endometrium gets used by the end of the
menstrual cycle. This causes the menstrual phase of the next cycle to begin.
