INTRODUCTION A clavicle fracture is a bone fracture in the clavicle, or collarbone.

Clavicle fractures involve approximately 5% of all fractures seen in hospital emergency admissions. Clavicles are the most common broken bone in the human body. It is most often fractured in the middle third of its length. Children and infants are particularly prone to it. Newborns often present clavicle fractures following a difficult delivery. After fracture of the clavicle, the sternocleidomastoid muscle elevates the proximal fragment of the bone. The trapezius muscle is unable to hold up the distal fragment owing to the weight of the upper limb, and thus the shoulder droops. A rib fracture is a break or fracture in one or more of the bones making up the rib cage. The middle ribs are the ones most commonly fractured. Fractures usually occur from direct blows or from indirect crushing injuries. The weakest part of a rib is just anterior to its angle, but a fracture can occur anywhere. The most commonly fractured ribs are the 7th and 10th. Rib fractures are usually quite painful because the ribs have to move to allow for breathing. Even a small crack can inflame a tendon and cripple an arm.Rib fractures can occur without direct trauma and have been reported after sustained coughing and in various sports for example, rowing and golf often in elite athletes. They can also occur as a consequence of diseases such as cancer or infections (pathological fracture). Cirrhosis is a consequence of chronic liver disease characterized by replacement of liver tissue by fibrous scar tissue as well as regenerative nodules (lumps that occur as a result of a process in which damaged tissue is regenerated), leading to progressive loss of liver function. Cirrhosis is most commonly caused by alcoholism, hepatitis B and C, and fatty liver disease but has many other possible causes. Some cases are idiopathic, i.e., of unknown cause.The word "cirrhosis" derives from Greek, meaning tawny (the orangeyellow colour of the diseased liver). Diabetes mellitus type 2 or type 2 diabetes (formerly called [non-[insulin]]dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), or adult-onset diabetes) is a disorder that is characterized by high blood glucose in the context of insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency.While it is often initially managed by increasing exercise and dietary modification, medications are typically needed as the disease progresses. There are an estimated 23.6 million people in the U.S. (7.8% of the population) with diabetes with 17.9 million being diagnosed, 90% of whom are type 2.With prevalence rates doubling between 1990 and 2005, CDC has characterized the increase as an epidemic. Traditionally considered a disease of adults, type 2 diabetes is increasingly diagnosed in children in parallel to rising obesity rates due to alterations in dietary patterns as well as in life styles during childhood.

B. Objectives of the Study The study aims to further analyze a patients condition providing the students of NCM501204 a definite idea on how it is to care for a patient with the same disease condition and how to interconnect all the other laboratory and significant findings of the physician to associate to the patients current state and condition. Proper assessment and nursing interventions are also given priority to emphasize the importance of nursing care to an ill patient. The study also has an objective of assessing and assisting the patient from her present condition towards the patients improvement in a higher level of wellness.

C. Scope and Limitation of the Study The study covers 2 days of assessment and care during our exposure at Cagayan de Oro Medical Center (COMC) and rendered our care to the patient at Station 4 (Private room) these includes thorough assessment, giving of nursing interventions, analyzing of the laboratory results, relating the disease condition to the Anatomy and Physiology of the Human body and the Pathophysiology of the disease. The focus of the study is limited to the time that we had our duty at COMC, the span of time for the assessment of the patient has limited since we had only 2 days to assess and for our nursing interventions. Also the hand writing of the doctors at the doctors order are not legible.

Vital Signs upon Assessment: BP: 140/80mmHg T: 36.60 C RR: 22 cpm

PR: 85 bpm Patients Health History In 2008, patient C.B.P. was admitted at Cebu and was diagnosed to have liver cirrhosis 2004, this is because of her diet since she was young, she was fond of eating street foods. She had been on Godex and Essentiale Natural Meds for several years. History of Present Illness A case of 79 year old, female, widower, Filipino fromBalucot, Tambulig, Zamboanga Del Sur, was admitted at Cagayan de Oro Medical Center on august 1, 2009 at exactly 11:35AM accompanied by her daugther. 2 weeks prior to admission, the patient experienced a fall at there stairs (4 steps), she was admitted at Zamboanga by then. Due to insufficiency of the equipments of their hospital, her children decided to transfer her at COMC here in Cagayan de Oro City and was diagnose DM, Fracture Left 8th Rib minimally displaced Fracture of Distal Left Clavicle.

III. GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT Developmental Task Theory of Robert Havighurst A developmental task is a task which arises at or about a certain period in the life of an individual. Basing on Havighurst theory our patient C.B.P. belongs in the later maturity 79 years old stage wherein she has adjusted to decreasing physical strength and health and the patient also has settled for a reduced income. Psychosexual Theory of Sigmund Freud The psychosexual stage of Sigmund Freud has five developmental periods during which the individual seeks pleasure from different areas of the body associated with sexual feelings. Basing in this theory, C.B.P. belongs to the genital stage wherein she has already achieved sexual desires. She has five children. Fortunately, She has a good personal relationship with her children. She has fully achieved the implications of this stage because she was able to raise a family, making a living and doing it independently apart from her parents. The value of decision making has already matured in the patient, upon making many decisions for herself and her family. Psychosocial Theory of Erik Erickson Erik Erickson envisioned life has a sequence of levels of achievements. Each stage signals tasks that must achieved. He believed that the greater the task achievement, the healthier the personality of the person. Failure to achieve the tasks influences the persons ability to achieve the next tasks. Basing on this theory, C.B.P. belongs to the maturity Stage wherein she has already achieved sexual desires he has 5 children at present. The patient 5

feels that she has already lived longer to see her children grow up and live a life of their own. She thinks that she already has served her purpose in this life and found uniqueness in the life that she is leading. She accepted that all life forms has their own end and has accepted that sooner she will have to leave his children behind, because she is open in the concept of death but she has also fear from it. Cognitive Theory of Jean Piaget Cognitive development refers to how a person perceives, thinks, and gains understanding of his or her world through the interaction and influence of genetics and learning factors. Basing on this theory C.B.P. belongs to the Formal Operational Phase wherein she has solved previously encountered problems in a logical manner and has used rational thinking. This includes overcoming financial problems and her personal family problems.

DRUG STUDY SODIUM BICARBONATE Classification: Acidifiers and Alkalinizers Dosage/route: 650mg TID , po Mechanism of Action: Restores buffering capacity of the body and neutralizer excess acid. Specific Indication: Cardiac Arrest, Metabolic Acidosis, Systemic or Urinary Alkalinization and Antacid Contraindications: Patients who are losing chlorides because of vomiting, continuous GI suction and in those receiving diuretics that produce hypochloremic alkalosis. Oral sodium bicarbonate is contraindicated for patients with acute ingestion of strong mineral acids. Side Effects: Tetany, Edema, Gastric Distention, Belching, and Flatulence. Nursing Precaution: To avoid risk of alkalosis, obtain blood pH, partial pressure of arterial oxygen, partial pressure of partial carbon dioxide, and electrolyte levels. Keep prescriber informed of laboratory results. KALIMATE Classification: Electrolytes Mechanism of Action: After administration of Kalimate via oral, calcium ion of Kalimate is exchanged for potassium ion in the intestinal tract, particularly around the colon, and Kalimate is excreted as unchanged polystyrene sulfonate resin into the feces without digestion and absorption. In consequence, potassium in the intestinal tract is excreted outside the body. Dosage/route: 2 sachets TID, po Specific Indication: Prevention & treatment of hyperkalemia resulting from acute or chronic renal failure. Contraindications: Patients w/ intestinal obstruction & stenosis, constipation.

Side Effects: Constipation, anorexia & nausea. Hypopotassemia. Nursing Precaution: Careful administration in patients with hyperparathyroidism (blood concentration of calcium may be increased by ion exchange) and patients with multiple myeloma (blood concentration of calcium may be increased by ion exchange). Important: Kalimate should be administered while measuring the serum potassium and serum calcium levels regularly to prevent overdose. If any abnormal findings are observed, appropriate measures eg, reduction of dose or withdrawal of the drug should be taken.

FUROSEMIDE Classification: Loop diuretic Dosage/route: 40 mg BID, po Mechanism of Action: Inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and chloride from the ascending limb of the loop of Henle, leading to a sodium-rich diuresis. Specific Indication: Furosemide is a "water pill" (diuretic) that increases the amount of urine you make, which causes your body to get rid of excess water. This drug is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication also reduces swelling/fluid retention (edema) which can result from conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease. This can help to improve symptoms such as trouble breathing. Contraindications: Contraindicated with allergy to furosemide, sulfonamides; allergy to tartrazine (in oral solution); anuria, severe renal failure; hepatic coma; pregnancy; lactation. Side Effects: CNS: Dizziness, vertigo, paresthesias, xanthopsia, weakness, headache, drowsiness, fatigue, blurred vision, tinnitus, irreversible hearing loss CV: Orthostatic hypotension, volume depletion, cardiac arrhythmias, thrombophlebitis Dermatologic: Photosensitivity, rash, pruritus, urticaria, purpura, exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme GI: Nausea, anorexia, vomiting, oral and gastric irritation, constipation, diarrhea, acute pancreatitis, jaundice GU: Polyuria, nocturia, glycosuria, urinary bladder spasm Hematologic: Leukopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia Other: Muscle cramps and muscle spasms Nursing Precaution: Use cautiously with SLE, gout, diabetes mellitus. 10

Give early in the day so that increased urination will not disturb sleep. Administer with food or milk to prevent GI upset. Reduce dosage if given with other antihypertensives; readjust dosage gradually as BP responds. Measure and record weight to monitor fluid changes.

CELECOXIB Classification: Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory drug Mechanism of Action: This medication is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), specifically a COX-2 inhibitor, which relieves pain and swelling (inflammation). It is used to treat arthritis, acute pain, and menstrual pain and discomfort. Celecoxib is also used to decrease growths found in the intestines (colon polyps) of persons with a family history of this condition. This drug works by blocking the enzyme in your body that makes prostaglandins. Decreasing prostaglandins helps to reduce pain and swelling. Dosage/route: 200 mg BID, po Specific Indication: Celecoxib is licensed for use in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, acute pain, painful menstruation and menstrual symptoms, and to reduce the number of colon and rectal polyps in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. It was originally intended to relieve pain while minimizing the gastrointestinal adverse effects usually seen with conventional NSAIDs. In practice, its primary indication is in patients who need regular and long term pain relief: there is probably no advantage to using celecoxib for short term or acute pain relief over conventional NSAIDs. In addition, the pain relief offered by celecoxib is similar to that offered by paracetamol.[1] Contraindications: Hypersensitivity including those in whom attacks of angioedema, rhinitis and urticaria have been precipitated by aspirin, NSAIDs or sulfonamides. Severe hepatic impairment; severe heart failure; inflammatory bowel disease; peptic ulcer; renal impairment. Side Effects: The most common adverse effects are headache, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, diarrhea, nausea, flatulence, and insomnia. Other side effects include fainting, kidney failure, heart failure, aggravation of hypertension, chest pain, ringing in the ears, deafness, stomach and intestinal ulcers, bleeding, blurred vision, anxiety, photosensitivity, weight gain, water retention, flu-like symptoms, drowsiness and weakness. Nursing Precaution: History of GI bleeding; renal/hepatic insufficiency; asthma or allergic disorders; hypertension; monitor haemoglobin or haematocrit levels for signs of anaemia. History of cerebrovascular disease or ischaemic heart disease.

11

LACTULOSE Classification: Laxatives Mechanism of Action: Lactulose promotes peristalsis by producing an osmotic effect in the colon with resultant distention. In hepatic encephalopathy, it reduces absorption of ammonium ions and toxic nitrogenous compounds, resulting in reduced blood ammonia concentrations. Dosage/route: 30 ml OD Specific Indication: Used to treat constipation. Contraindications: Galactosaemia, intestinal obstruction. Patients on low galactose diet. Side Effects: This medication may cause gas, belching or stomach cramps. If these effects continue or become bothersome, inform your doctor. Notify your doctor if you develop any of these effects while taking this medication: diarrhea, nausea, vomiting. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. Nursing Precaution: Monitor electrolyte imbalance. Lactose intolerance; diabetics.

V. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY The Skeletal System serves many important functions; it provides the shape and form for our bodies in addition to supporting, protecting, allowing bodily movement, producing blood for the body, and storing minerals. Its 206 bones form a rigid framework to which the softer tissues and organs of the body are attached. Vital organs are protected by the skeletal

14

system. The brain is protected by the surrounding skull as the heart and lungs are encased by the sternum and rib cage. Bodily movement is carried out by the interaction of the muscular and skeletal systems. For this reason, they are often grouped together as the musculoskeletal system. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons. Bones are connected to each other by ligaments. Where bones meet one another is typically called a joint. Muscles which cause movement of a joint are connected to two different bones and contract to pull them together. An example would be the contraction of the biceps and a relaxation of the triceps. This produces a bend at the elbow. The contraction of the triceps and relaxation of the biceps produces the effect of straightening the arm.

The Ribs The ribs are thin, flat, curved bones that form a protective cage around the organs in the upper body. They are comprised 24 bones arranged in 12 pairs. The first seven bones are called the true ribs. These bones are connected to the spine (the backbone) in back. In the front, the true ribs are connected directly to the breastbone or sternum by a strips of cartilage called the costal cartilage. The next three pairs of bones are called false ribs. These bones are slightly shorter than the true ribs and are connected to the spine in back. However, instead of being attached directly to the sternum in front, the false ribs are attached to the lowest true rib. The last two sets of rib bones are called floating ribs. Floating ribs are smaller than both the true ribs and the false ribs. They are attached to the spine at the back, but are not connected to anything in the front. The ribs form a kind of cage the encloses the upper body. They give the chest its familiar shape.

15

The Shoulder Girdle The Shoulder Girdle, also called the Pectoral Girdle, is composed of four bones: two clavicles and two scapulae . The clavicle, commonly called the collarbone, is a slender S-shaped bone that connects the upper arm to the trunk of the body and holds the shoulder joint away from the body to allow for greater freedom of movement.

GOOD

After having interacted with the client for 2 days and rendered nursing interventions, we therefore concluded that our objectives were met. Also based on thorough observation and data gathered, we had identified that the client has a poor prognosis since she is too old to recover from her illness and she had experienced many complications. Although the family support system towards the client is good, we still encourages the family to continue on supporting the medical and emotional support of the client in gearing towards hospitalization and consultation. They are encouraged to be sensitive to the needs and care of the patient since she is old. We implied for a continue support system towards the client and be cautious if theres any complains from the client or any signs of another health problems.
