    currently no availablevaccine, but outbreaks can be prevented by reducing the habitat

    and number of mosquitoes, and limiting exposure to bites.

    Health officials last year warned of a possible epidemic of dengue fever in Asia. The

    World Health Organization said in July that 2007 could be on a par with 1998, when

    nearly 1,500 people died in the region from the disease. The Philippines has recorded

    nearly 40,000 cases of dengue fever in the first 11 months of the year, the health

    department said. The department has said about 290 people had died from dengue

    fever in the first 10 months of the year,

    Treatment of acute dengue is supportive, using either oral or intravenous rehydration for

    mild or moderate disease, and blood transfusions for more severe cases. Rates of

    infection have increased dramatically over the last 50 years with around 50100 million

    people infected yearly. A global disease, dengue is currently endemic in more than

    110 countries with 2.5 billion people living in areas where it is prevalent. Early

    descriptions of the condition date from 1779, and its viral cause and the transmission

    were elucidated in the early 20th century. Dengue has become a worldwide problem

    since the Second World War.

    18/37

    The CBC provides valuable information about the blood and to some extent

    the bone marrow, which is the blood-forming tissue. The CBC is used for the

    following purposes:

    as a preoperative test to ensure both adequate oxygen carrying capacity

    and hemostasis

    to identify persons who may have an infection

    to diagnose anemia

    to identify acute and chronic illness, bleeding tendencies, and white blood

    cell disorders such as leukemia

    to monitor treatment for anemia and other blood diseases

    to determine the effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy on blood

    cell production

    How Test is performed:

    Blood is drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the

    hand The puncture site is cleaned with antiseptic An elastic band is placed around the

    After 4 hrs. Of nursinginterventions, theclient will be able todemonstratebehaviors that reducethe risk for bleeding.

    Independent:

    Perform thoroughassessments regardingsafety issues when planningfor client care.

    Assess for signsand symptoms ofG.I bleeding.Check for secretions.Observe colorand consistency of stools orvomitus.

    Position the client onupright position with headtilted slightly forward.

    Using your fingers applypressure to the sides of thenose.

    Apply nasal pack or coldcompress.

    Observe forpresence of

    petechiae, ecchymosis,bleeding from one more

    Failure to accuratelyassess and intervene orrefer these issues canplace the client at needlessrisk and creates negligenceissues for healthcare

    practitioner.

    The G.I tract(esophagus andrectum) is themost usualsource of bleeding of itsmucosal fragility.

    Note changes inmentation and level ofconsciousness.

    Avoid rectalTemperature.

    Encourage use of softtoothbrush, avoidingstrainingfor stool, and forceful nose

    Use small needles forinjections. Apply pressure tovenipuncture sites for longerthan usual.

    Recommend avoidance ofaspirin containing products.

    Rectal vessels are mostvulnerable to rupture.

    In the presence ofclotting factor disturbances,minimal trauma can cause
