decreased level of protein in the blood hypoproteinemia
the body increases the production of lipids and proteins this leads to increased level of cholesterol (hyperlipidemia)
when the child goes into remission
the bone marrow biopsy will usually show less than 2% blasts
since extremity is not being used in cast
the bones are immobile and are not absorbing calcium propery so it is being released in bloodstream, causing hypercalcemia leading to kidney stones

what causes HCO3 to decrese with respiratory alkalosis partially compensated
the kidneys excrete it, to bring the level down
what causes HCO3 to increase

nursing care management for scoliosis
consideration for growth and development- provide positive reinforcement, encourage socialization with peers, encourage self care and independence, potential social isolation, dealing with pain, body image
patho of burns
damaged vessels lead to increased permeability and vasodilation leaking of fluid from vasculature- third spacing and edema fluid loss 5-10 times greater fluid loss continues until skin is healed or grafted
a specific gravity more than 1.030 may indicate
dehydration
children are very susceptible to
dehydration and a major complication is shock

what can biopsy assist with
determining if malignant or benign classification or staging bone marrow location of origin

casts
used to immobilize the joints above and below the site of injury to maintain bone alignment and prevent displacement

vomitting
If the IV is infiltrated
we must remove it immediately
due to use of corticosteroids leading to immunosupression

when assessing pallor of extremity
we will look at the color of the extremity, if pale circulation is not adequate
when assess for parathesia of extremity
we will look for numbness and tingling
to determine if interventions are effective with nephrotic syndrome
we will see a decrease in weight
