I. INTRODUCTION A. OVERVIEW OF THE STUDY

Dengue fever is an infectious disease carried by mosquitoes and caused by any one of the of four dengue viruses. You can get it if an infected mosquito bites you. This disease used to be called "break-bone" fever because it sometimes causes severe joint and muscle pain that feels like bones are breaking, hence the name. Health experts have known about dengue fever for more than 200 years. It occurs in tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world. Symptoms appear 314 days after the infective bite. Dengue fever is a febrile illness that affects infants, young children and adults. Symptoms include a high fever, headaches, joint and muscle pain, vomiting and a rash. Most people with dengue recover within 2 weeks. Until then, drinking lots of fluids, resting and taking non-aspirin fever-reducing medicines might help. It is important to maintain hydration. Sometimes dengue turns into dengue hemorrhagic fever, which causes bleeding from your nose, gums or under your skin. It can also become dengue shock syndrome, which causes massive bleeding and shock. These forms of dengue are life-threatening. Dengue viruses are transmitted to humans through the bites of infective female Aedes mosquitoes. Mosquitoes generally acquire the virus while feeding on the blood of an infected person. After virus incubation for eight to 10 days, an infected mosquito is capable, during probing and blood feeding, of transmitting the virus for the rest of its life. Infected female mosquitoes may also transmit the virus to their offspring by transovarial (via the eggs) transmission, but the role of this in sustaining transmission of the virus to humans has not yet been defined. Infected humans are the main carriers and multipliers of the virus, serving as a source of the virus for uninfected mosquitoes. The virus circulates in the blood of infected humans for two to seven days, at approximately the same time that they have a fever; Aedes mosquitoes may acquire the virus when they feed on an individual during this period.

The mosquito flourishes during rainy seasons but can breed in water-filled flower pots, plastic bags, and cans year-round. One mosquito bite can inflict the disease.The virus is not contagious and cannot be spread directly from person to person. There must be a person-tomosquito-to-another-person pathway Worldwide, 50 to 100 million cases of dengue infection occur each year. This includes 100 to 200 cases in the United States, mostly in people who have recently traveled abroad. During the last part of the 20th century, many tropical regions of the world saw an increase in dengue cases. Epidemics also occurred more frequently and with more severity. In addition to typical dengue, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome also have increased in many parts of the world. Globally, there are an estimated several hundred thousand cases of DHF per year. According to the World Health Organization, there are an estimated 50 million cases of dengue fever with 500,000 cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever requiring hospitalization each year. Nearly 40% of the world's population lives in an area endemic with dengue.

B. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY The study was conducted to determine and identify health problems of the patient to implement nursing interventions that would alleviate her present condition. And thus, be able to impart health teachings in promoting health and prevention of illness; be able to relate applicable recommendations which include referrals and follow-up to intervene on the problems that are being identified and be able to encourage participation on the promotion of health and wellness.

C. SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS This study will act as a baseline data as well as guide for coming up with a good, reliable, accurate and comprehensive research paper dealing with issues commonly experienced by patients in the hospital setting. The study focused on one patient admitted at SABAL HOSPITAL. The time frame of this study begins from the physical assessment last

November 18, 2009 and on the first day of duty last November 19, 2009 up to the 2nd day of exposure November 20, 2009 11-7 shift at Semi-Private Ward, room 401, Station 2. Subjective data gathered were taken from the patient alone. The activities include collecting, organizing, validating and recording any data from the chart, significant others and from our observation, which will be enough to support our study. We had also identified actual problems manifested by the patient and implemented nursing intervention. Furthermore, we had also imparted health teachings that will be beneficial in the promotion of patients health. This study does not involve providing financial assistance or giving false reassurance to the patient as well as their significant others.

II. A. PATIENTS PROFILE Name: D.L Home Address: Kauswagan, CDO Sex: Female Age: 15 years old Religion: Roman Catholic Civil status: Single Education level: 4th year high school Nationality: Filipino Date admitted: November 18, 2009 Time: 12:21 am Attending physician: Dr. Sabal Chief complaint: Fever, Abdominal pain and headache Admitting diagnosis: Dengue fever BP: 110/90 mmHg Pulse rate: 89 bpm Respiratory rate: 26 cpm Temperature: 38.7 c Height: 53 Weight: 58.9 kg B. HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS Patient D.L 15 years old, a 4th year high school student, who has a history of asthma and allergic to pollen grains and dust was admitted on Sabal Hospital last November 18, 2009 at 12:21 am with a chief complaint of abdominal and headache. Prior to admission patient had a fever after being exposed to the rain. She took Biogesic to relieve her fever but it remained unrelieved so she was brought to the hospital. Upon admission patient complained of abdominal pain and headache.

III. DEVELOPMENTAL DATA 1. ROBERT HAVIGHURST: DEVELOPMENTAL TASK THEORY In this theory, the patient belongs to the Adolescence. During this age the patient undergoes the following changes: A. Achieving new and more mature relations with age- mates of both sexes. B. Achieving a feminine/ masculine role. C. Accepting ones physique and using the body effectively. D. Achieving emotional independence from parents and other adults. This explains why the patient seems to give much importance in beautifying self because this is the time where a person is conscious of the biological changes that take place in adolescence. We can relate these developmental tasks to patient D. L because shes 15 years old and at the time of our care to her, she makes it a point that shes neat and clean every time we visit her. She was a bit shy especially when it comes to performing procedures related to her plan of care.
2. ERIK ERIKSON: EIGHT STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT

In this theory, patient belongs to the Adolescence stage which can be classified from 12- 20 years old. The Central Task in this stage is Identity versus role confusion. The indicators of positive resolution are coherent sense of self and plan to actualize ones abilities. The indicators of Negative resolution are feelings of confusion, indecisiveness, and possible antisocial behavior. To evaluate our patient using this theory, she may fall under the ones who manifests positive indicators resolutions. Although our patient may not be that consistent and active when it comes to conversation, you can very well see that she is

trying to slowly share, that she has plenty of friends in school and that they have similar likes and dislikes that enabled them to create a bond. Patient D. L was like a typical teenager that gave importance to her social life and studies. We observed that she was concerned about her studies because even though she was admitted at the hospital, she was worried about her absences that could possibly pull down her grades. Erikson does not believe that the proper solution to a stage crisis is always completely positive. Some exposure or commitment to the negative end of the persons bipolar conflict is sometimes inevitable- you cannot trust all people under all circumstances and survive, for example. Nonetheless, in the healthy solution to a stage crisis, the positive resolution dominates 3. SIGMUND FREUD: PSYCHOSEXUAL THEORY OF DEVELOPMENT Genital stage is the last stage in this theory, this occurs from puberty the after. Energy is directed towards full sexual maturity and function and development of skills needed to cope with the environment. This stage implies Encourage separation from parents, achievement of independence, and decision making. 4. PIAGETS COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT Cognitive Development refers to the manner in which people learn to think, reason, and use language. It involves a persons intelligence, perceptual ability, ability to process information. Cognitive development represents a progression of mental abilities from illogical to logical thinking, from simple to complex problem solving, and from understanding concrete ideas to understanding abstract concepts. According to Piaget (1966), Cognitive development is an orderly. Sequential process in which a variety of new experiences must exist before intellectual abilities can develop. Piagets phase of cognitive development ends with formal operation phase.

In Patient D. Ls age which belongs to the formal operations phase, there is use of rational thinking and reasoning is deductive and futuristic. This theory can be used in developing teaching strategies like in the case of patient D.L, she is 15 years old and can be expected to use rational thinking and to reason; therefore when explaining the need for a medication, we can outlined the consequences of taking and not taking the medications that enabled our patient to make a rational decision.
