Acute Pain

Intussusception

Intussusception is a medical emergency that requires prompt recognition and intervention by nursing professionals. This condition occurs when one segment of the intestine slides into an adjacent section, causing a blockage and compromising blood flow to the affected area.

Measles (Rubeola)

Measles is marked by prodromal fever, cough, coryza, conjunctivitis, and pathognomonic enanthem (ie, Koplik spots), followed by an erythematous maculopapular rash on the third to the seventh day.

Otitis Media

Otitis media is the inflammation and infection of the middle ear, often resulting from viral or bacterial pathogens. Otitis media can lead to various symptoms, including ear pain, fever, hearing difficulties, and fluid buildup behind the eardrum.

Lumbar Puncture (Spinal Tap)

Lumbar puncture, also known as spinal tap, is an invasive procedure where a hollow needle is inserted into the space surrounding the subarachnoid space in the lower back to obtain samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for qualitative analysis.
