This habit makes them susceptible to acquiring infections, choking and most importantly, poisoning. Although most of the poisonings are unintentional exposures when the child gains access to a product or drug, many therapeutic errors are also reported to poison centers. Giving double doses or the wrong dose, or the wrong medicine, measuring out the wrong amount are all common reasons for these therapeutic errors. Nurses attending to children coming in should carefully asses the child for symptoms that may appear. Taking the history of ingestion from the parent or guardian is also helpful in the assessment and prediction of the possible effects of the substance to the child. Before discharge, nurses should always remember to remind the adults looking after the child to keep medications out of children's reach and in locked cabinets where they can not easily be accessed by a child. Household cleaners and other home chemicals should also be stored safely away from where children can get them. These measures if taken by all adults with children in their homes could greatly reduce the occurrence of pediatric poisonings.

This inflammation causes airways to tighten and narrow, which blocks air from flowing freely into the lungs, making it hard to breathe. Symptoms include wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and cough, particularly at night or after exercise/activity. Asthma usually has many causes or triggers. The triggers that may result to the occurrence of asthma include respiratory infections, allergens, irritants, weather changes, activities, GERD, upper airway inflammation and emotional factors. A high percentage of children with asthma also has some type of allergy, the allergy isn't always the primary cause of asthma. Even if allergies are not primary triggers for asthma they can still make symptoms worse. The goals of asthma therapy are to prevent chronic and troublesome symptoms, to maintain lung function as close to normal as possible, maintenance of normal physical activity levels, to prevent recurrent asthma attacks and to reduce the need for emergency department visits or hospitalizations, and to provide medicines that give the best results with the fewest side effects. Medications for asthma include inhaled corticosteroids, and long-acting bronchodilators. For more information, nurses and nursing students should follow the links below.

Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, mold spores, certain types of food, insect stings and medications. Allergies can cause a runny nose, sneezing, itching, rashes, swelling or asthma. Symptoms vary. Although allergies can make you feel bad, they usually won't kill you. However, a severe reaction called anaphylaxis is life-threatening. There are tests that can be done to determine if a person is hypersensitive to a a substance. Types of tests are in vivo or skin/scratch test, in vitro or the measurement of specific IgE antibodies, and provocation testing where an allergen is introduced one at a time and the subject is observed for presence of reactions. Though allergic reactions can resolve on its own, the symptoms that it produces may be rather discomforting. Medications that can be given to resolve hypersensitivity include Corticosteroids, Antihistamines, Decongestants, and other medications that work by blocking symptom-causing chemicals released during an allergic reaction such as Montelukast, Cromolyn Sodium and Mast cell stabilizers. Immunotherapy or allergy shots can also be done to desensitize the patient to decrease or eliminate the need for medications. For patients with severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis, epinephrine shots may be given.
