Introduction
Background of the Study
Dengue hemorrhagic fever is an acute febrile diseases found in tropics.It is a
complication of Dengue fever with hemorrhages. It is characterized by abnormal
vascular permeability, hypovolemia and abnormal blood clotting mechanism.
The Dengue virus type 1,2,3,4, along with other arboviruse which are chikungunya,
O’ nyong-nyong, west nile and flavi virus are classified as the causative agents. The
vector responsible for the transmission of the virus is the domestic, day- biting
mosquito known as the Aedes aegypti.The vector responsible for the transmission of
the virus is the domestic, day-biting mosquito known as the Aedes aegypti.
Rationale for choosing the case
The researchers decided to choose this case because they wanted to acquire more
knowledge about Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever II. They wanted to use the knowledge
they have acquired in promoting awareness to the people especially the
underprivileged that they should seek for medical care in order to prevent the
development and progression of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. The researchers also
wanted to focus on preventive measures.
Significance of the Study
This study will help the nursing profession by providing information about the
proper management and care for patients who have Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. It
will also educate the people, especially those who have Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
and vulnerable individuals to seek medical care in order to prevent dengue
Hemorrhagic Fever. It will increase awareness about the importance of having a
healthy lifestyle.
This study will elaborate the interrelatedness of lifestyle habits and developing
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
This study is focused on the nursing aspect of care to those patients who had,
currently have and are at risk for Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. This study will only
be used in the nursing profession. The researcher will only be focused their attention
on the medications, diagnostics, care plan, pathophysiology and discharge planning.
This study is not limited to patients who have Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever only, but
it is also for all the people who are interested in the disease. We are more focused on
the primary prevention through health education because primary prevention is the
true prevention.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Florence Nightingale's core nursing theory has an environmental focus: It was her belief that the environment is an alterable medium that can be used to improve the conditions of Nature and encourage healing. Ventilation, clean air, clean water, control of noise, provision for light, and Adequate waste management are just a some of the elements She believed could be Monitored and improved when necessary.
Nightingale’s theory addresses the prevention of occurrences of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. In facilitating proper environmental sanitation we can achieve a surroundings with no presence of any vector that cause its transmission as they can no longer exist if the environment is not suited for their survival hence decreasing the morbidity rate of Dengue in our country. We should be knowledgeable on how to keep our surroundings free from any breeding sites that could serve as a reservoir for the mosquito. As a nurse we should teach our clients how to do proper water storage and environmental sanitation so as to prevent disease occurrence and recurrence
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Blood- a connective tissue
composed of a liquid
extracellular matrix called
blood plasma that dissolves
and suspends various cells and
cell fragments.
1 - HYPERLINK "http://www.psbc.org/education/hematology/blood/blood.htm" Formed elements:
Red blood cells (or erythrocytes)
White blood cells (or leucocytes)
Platelets (or thrombocytes)
2 - HYPERLINK "http://www.psbc.org/education/hematology/blood/plasma.htm" Plasma = water
+ dissolved solutes
Characteristics of Blood

dark red/purplish
much more dense than pure water

If the hematocrit levels fall dangerously then a blood transfusion should be considered. If the hematocrit values rise the patient should be given fluids intravenously and the fluids carefully monitored to ensure that the patient does not get excess fluids. A rise of more than 20 % as compared to previous levels may be an indication for IV fluids. The doctor should decide based on best judgment of patient's condition.
Continuation of medications to prevent diseases and maintain wellness.

DISCHARGE TEACHING
Medication
Remind to take the prescribed medicine, having a written reminder of the correct medication, time to take, and the right frequency of the medicine on the way home to establish assurance of medication compliance.
Don’t give aspirin and NSAID’s, they increase the risk of bleeding. Any medicines that decrease platelet count should be avoided.
Exercise
Instruct to avoid excessive activities that may result to stress.Just advised to perform range of motions and repetitive body movements for promotion of optimum health.
Remind about the need for health promotion activities such as reading, watching T.V, etc.
Treatment
Bed rest is advisable during the re-occurrence of fever phase.
Instruct to drink plenty of water or fluids that are available at home and eat nutritious diet. Advised to look for re-occurrence of danger signs and symptoms and report immediately.
HygieneEncourage to continue the routinely hygienic care of the patient
Out-Patient Follow-Up Care
Instruct the family members to have a check-up or to consult physician once a while to monitor patient’s condition and for detection of recurrences and other complications that may arise on to it.
Diet
Instruct the family members to give the client protein rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs
and nuts, vitamin K rich foods such as green leafy vegetables, vit C rich foods(guava and
tomatoes and other citrus fruits), carbohydrates rich food (breads and rice)
Long Term Objectives:
To promote holistic wellness through rendering quality nursing care and health education.
Short Term Objectives:
For Hyperthermia:
1.Within 2 hours of nursing care, the patient temperature will decrease from 38.6°C to 37-37.5°C
For Abdominal Pain:
2. Within 2-4 hours of nursing care the patient will be able to reduced pain felt from 7/10 to 5/10.
For Moderate Dehydration:
3. Within 8 hours of nursing care client will be able to minimize occurrence of fluid deficit as
evidenced by normal skin turgor

Leukocytes, or white cells, are responsible for the defense of the organism.
Round nucleus, produces antibodies, contributes to allergic reactions,tumor control, regulation of the
immune system
Nucleus with 2-4 lobes connected by thin filaments;
Phagocytizes microorganisms and other substances
Red blood cells are responsible for providing oxygen to tissues and partly for recovering carbon dioxide
produced as waste.
Platelets are important in preventing blood loss, releases chemicals for blood clotting
Nucleus with indistinct lobes; releases histamine, which promotes inflammation
The plasma is a slightly alkaline fluid, with a typical yellowish color
Nucleus often bilobed; releases chemicals that reduce inflammation; attacks certain worm parasites
Eosinophils attack parasites and phagocyte antigen-antibody complexes
Neutrophils are very active in phagocyting bacteria and are present in large amount in the pus of wounds.
Unfortunately, these cells are not able to renew the lysosomes used in digesting microbes and dead after
having phagocyted a few of them
Basophil secrete anti-coagulant and vasodilatory substances as histamines and serotonin. Even if they have a
phagocytory capability, their main function is secreting substances which mediate the hypersensitivity
reaction.
The main function of platelets, or thrombocytes, is to stop the loss of blood from wounds (hematostasis).
Monocytes are the precursors of macrophages. They are larger blood cells, which after attaining maturity in the bone
marrow, enter the blood circulation where they stay for 24-36 hours.
