Another great week at clinical. I was at the new Jeff Gordan Children's Hospital at NEMC. It is the nicest facility I have been at. My pt. was a 7mon old Hispanic girl that cried every time hospital personnel entered the room. I clustered my care to prevent undue stress to the child. Her reason for hospitalization was a temp of 105.2. She had a UTI and R ear infection. Both parents spoke very little English. The father was able to communicate some English so this made my job a lot easier. I took the child's VS when sleeping to get a more accurate reading. As we all know crying will increase the HR and Resp. She was D/C on Friday and I got the opportunity to use a translator for D/C information. I am looking forward to being w/ Mrs. Clay again for Peds next semester.
