**## NUR601W4A.docx**
The purpose of this assignment is to design a study guide that will assist you and your peers to translate relevant clinical guidelines and evidence-based research into evidence-based practice to promote health and prevent chronic health problems.
· Congestive Heart Failure
**Your study guide must include:**
· Definition, etiology
· Occurrence/epidemiology
· Clinical presentation
· Diagnostic testing
· Differential diagnosis
· Non-pharmacological and pharmacological management and follow up
· The study guide is to be clear and concise and will provide a quick reference for a specific chronic disease.
· Include your resources and guidelines used for the elaboration of the study guide.
· Cite within the text (in each section) using APA 7th edition.
· Please use the attached template below to complete your assignment. (ATTACHED IN SEPARATE DOC)
· Students will lose points for improper grammar, punctuation, misspelling, and references should be current (published within the last five years).

| Intussusception |
| What is it? | Intussusception occurs when a portion of the intestine folds like a telescope, with one segment slipping inside another segment. It can occur anywhere in the intestines. This causes an obstruction, preventing the passage of food that is being digested through the intestine. |
| Etiology | The cause of intussusception is not known. Though rare, an increased incidence of developing intussusception may be seen in children:<br>· Who have abdominal or intestinal tumors or masses<br>· Who have appendicitis |
| Occurrence/Epidemiology | Children less than 3 years old, can also occur in older children, teenagers, and adults.<br>· Intussusception occurs more often in boys than girls. |
| Clinical Presentation <br>_(subjective and physical examination)_ | Subjective: Pain, Sudden loud crying, Straining, Draw knees up, Irritable. | Objective: red mucus or jelly like stool, fever, lethargic, vomiting bile, diarrhea, sweating, dehydration, abdominal distention or lump. |
| Diagnostic Testing | X-Ray: may demonstrate an elongated soft tissue mass with a bowel obstruction proximal to it. | Ultrasound: ‘Target Sign’<br>also known as the doughnut sign or bull's eye sign. appearance is generated by concentric alternating echogenic and hypoechogenic bands. | Upper & Lower GI Series (Barium Swallow & Enema): giving the "coiled spring” appearance |
| 3 Differential Diagnosis <br>_(include difference between each differential diagnosis & the main diagnosis)_ | Intussusception:<br>Pain, sudden crying, red mucus or jelly like stool, fever, lethargic, vomiting bile, diarrhea, sweating, dehydration, abdominal distention or lump. | Gastroenteritis: vomiting that are typically nonbilious, often with anorexia, fever, lethargy, and diarrhea.<br> <br>**No jelly like stool** | Gastric Volvulus: Epigastric pain tenderness and distention, vomiting, bloody diarrhea<br> <br>**No jelly like stool** | Appendicitis: abdominal pain that has migrated from a periumbilical position to the right lower quadrant.<br> <br>**No jelly like stool or masses.** |
| Non-Pharmacologic Management | There are currently no nonpharmacological treatments. |
| Pharmacologic Management | May fix itself while being diagnosed with barium enema. Air enema (aids in moving intestines back). <br>Antibiotics if infection present<br>Surgery: push the telescoped intestine back out. Rare cases a resection of intestines may happen, and stoma created. |
| Follow Up | With toleration of diet, patients treated with nonoperative reduction are usually discharged 12-18 hours after the therapeutic enema. After operative reduction, postoperative progress dictates the length of stay. |
