Case study: Asthma in children aged 5-14

After researching the prevalence of your chosen childhood experience, develop a brief hypothetical case study (200 words or so) about a child and their family highlighting the health care setting in which you (the nurse) meet the family; the case study helps to guide your essay and provide context for your reader.

To explore the impact of your chosen childhood experience on the child and their family in the case study you have developed, read widely and address the following prompts informed by contemporary and relevant developmental, nursing and family care theory:

1. Outline the prevalence in Australia of the childhood experience chosen and highlight the short term, medium term and potential long term health outcomes/impact on the child

2. Discuss the impact (protective or otherwise) of family, culture and environment on the identified health outcomes for children identified from prompt 1

3. Explore the impact of the chosen childhood experience on the learning and development of the child in the case study, in light of their age/stage of development

4. When you (the nurse) meet the family (as outlined in your case study) how might you engage therapeutically with the child and family? Outline age/development appropriate communication strategies that you could adopt to support child/family flourishing

5. Based on the chosen childhood experience selected and the case study specifics, provide two priority nursing actions/interventions with rationales, that would advocate for positive child/family health outcomes

This essay will be developed with an introduction, body and conclusion, with correct grammar and spelling and acknowledging sources using APA 7th Edition referencing style. Word count of 2000 words +/-10% will be maintained; inclusive of intext references, excluding reference list.

1.0 Introduction
A proper healthcare setting is required for managing the problems faced by the patients. As per the report of the Australian Medical Association (2019) for providing quality care to the patients, we required the support of family members and nurses. Australian Institute of Health and Welfare Stated that around 2.7% million Australians are facing issue related to Asthma (Boyle et al 2020, p.30). In this research paper, we are analysing the childhood experience for developing a hypothetical case study about a child and their family highlighting the health care setting that included a nurse and family members.
2.0 Body 
2.1 Case Study
James (Asian) is a 7-year-old boy from Mungallala, He lives at home with his mother, father (Chain Smoker) and 2 siblings. The family wants to moves to Sydney, but on the family’s limited income, they are not sure about they could afford to move. James loves to play basketball, he was included in the school basketball team. He loves the games, but he suffers from shortness of breath and he also faces chest tightness and pain sometimes. During the school league match, he was out the breadth and the PE teacher directly informed the paramedic team to manage the issue. The team provided the required care and the for understanding and managing the Asthma issues faced by James the healthcare professional wants to meet with the family of James.
2.2 Short term, Medium term and Potential long term Health outcomes
2.2.1 Short Term Health Outcomes
Shortness of breath, chest tightness and even fainting can be called the short-term health outcomes of Asthma. Researchers also stated that Asthma also affects the growth level of the child. 
2.2.2 Medium Term Health Outcomes
The medium-term health outcomes include daily shortness of breath and it also affects the functioning of internal and external organs of the child. Rapid heartbeat also called another issue related to Asthma (Black et al 2020, p.42). 
2.2.3 Potential Long Term Health Outcomes 
Asthma directly affects the mindset of the child, asthma had a higher rate of psychiatric disorders and it also affects the growth level of the child. Air-way and lungs damage can be called another health problem related to Asthma. 
2.2.4 Impact On the Child
All these effects directly affect the mental and physical strength of the child. While analysing the case we can understand that James is just a 7-year-old boy and he loves the game basketball. The medium and long term health outcomes of Asthma can create different problems for the child, maybe it also creates problems to his growth and energy level. It also may affect the learning level of the child
2.3 Impact (protective or otherwise) of family, culture and environment on the identified health outcomes for children
While analysing the family of James we can understand that it’s a small family and the family does not have any proper income for managing the health issues faced by the children. The family also went through hardships and the parents failed to provide proper food and other facilities to the children in time. The father of James is a chain smoker, smoking creates different problems for Asthma patients, it creates problems to the airways. Most of the researchers stated that second-hand smoke may provoke asthma symptoms. From the case, it is clear that James loves the basketball game, so from his early childhood onwards he went out to the street which is always, polluted and he spent more than five to six hours playing basketball on the outdoor basketball court. From the case, it is clear that James is an Asian and while analysing the report of Lung Foundation of Australia (2019) Asians (4.0%) had lower current asthma prevalence rates than other racial and ethnic groups. The lifestyle and food habits also can be considered a reason for the growth of Asthma (Jensen et al 2020, p.389). 
Road dust, smoke and factory emissions are the environmental triggers for Asthma.
