    This document summarizes an integrated clinical pathway for caring for children with typhoid fever. Typhoid fever is caused by the Salmonella typhoid bacterium and is spread through contaminated food or drinks. It most commonly affects children between ages 5-9 and is one of the most serious public health threats, especially in South and Southeast Asia. Complications can include intestinal perforation causing nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Treatment involves hydration, antipyretics, nutrition, antibiotics and hospitalization if needed. Nursing care includes education families on prevention and home care.

    JOURNAL REPORT

    TITLE:
    Integrated Clinical Pathway Regarding Care of Children with
    Typhoid Fever
    SUMMARY:
    Salmonella typhoid is the bacterium that causes typhoid fever. It spreads when infected food or
    beverages are consumed. Due to the rapid and widespread evolution of antibiotic resistance, it is now
    regarded as one of the most serious infectious disease threats to public health in the pediatric
    population. Typhoid fever is most common in children and young people between the ages of 5 and 9
    and is estimated to have caused 21.7 million illnesses and 217,000 fatalities in. It caused about
    161,000 fatalities in 2013, down from 181,000. In South-central and Southeast Asia, infants, kids, and
    teenagers bear the brunt of sickness. Typhoid fever complications include bleeding or ruptured
    intestines. Due to the intestine's perforation, the child will experience nausea, vomiting, and abdominal
    pain as well as contamination of the abdominal cavity. Typhoid fever care includes supportive
    measures such oral or intravenous hydration, the use of antipyretics, proper diet, and blood
    transfusions as needed. With oral antibiotics, dependable care, and frequent medical follow-up for
    problems or therapy failure, more than 90% of children can be handled at home. However kids who
    have chronic vomiting, severe diarrhea, and stomach pain might need to be hospitalized and given
    parenteral antibiotic therapy.
    LEARNING INSIGHTS:
    My insights is that nursing management includes teaching, advising, and supervising family members
    on nursing practices that will aid in the child's recovery, explaining the nature of the disease to the
    family and the need for adopting preventive and control measures, and showing the family how to
    provide bedside care such as using a tepid sponge, feeding, changing of the bed linens, using a
    bedpan, and oral care. Any bleeding from the rectum, blood in the stools, sudden severe stomach
    pain, restlessness, or hypothermia. To raise health awareness and expand knowledge, sermons,
    colorful posters, and educational booklets are distributed to nurses, kids, and their families in typhoid
    fever wards. Care pathways, which depict the course of a person's care, should involve many different
    professionals, cross organizational boundaries, and serve as a prompt for treatment.
    NURSING IMPLICATIONS:
    Care pathways are a technique to lay out the best practice procedure to be followed when treating a
    patient or client with a specific disease or set of needs. In order to increase the awareness of the
    desired outcomes of integrated clinical pathways for their profession, improve the quality of care
    delivered, shorten hospital stays, and thus increase patient and family satisfaction with health care
    services, workshops and seminars should be organized in collaboration with various members of the
    health team..
