Alanna Lara Ihuman Case Study Management Plan

ECZEMA: Diagnosing eczema relies on clinical observation, as no specific test exists. Family history often reveals a connection to atopic conditions. While there’s no cure, symptom control is vital. Initial treatments include:

Skin Moisture Management:
- Shorter, lukewarm baths or showers.
- Use hypoallergenic or mild unscented soaps and laundry products.
- Apply topical moisturizer creams daily.
- Ensure adequate skin moisture by keeping the child well-hydrated.
- Consider wearing cotton for better air circulation, avoiding harsh fabrics like wool or polyester.
Allergen Minimization:
- Minimize exposure to allergens such as pollen, mold, tobacco smoke, and pet dander.
Infection Prevention:
- Keep nails clipped short to minimize excoriations.
- Consider wearing light white gloves during sleep to minimize skin trauma.
Flare-Up Management:
- Apply over-the-counter 1% cortisone cream twice daily for 5 days during flare-ups.
- Use antihistamines to alleviate itching and promote better sleep in children.

WELL CHILD/HEALTH MAINTENANCE: Today, the patient will receive MMR, Varicella, and Hep A vaccines.

ANTICIPATORY GUIDANCE:

Injury Prevention:
- Discuss injury prevention strategies as the child becomes more mobile.
- Secure all poisons and electrical outlets.
Car Safety:
- Continue using a rear-facing car seat for safety.
Dietary Transition:
- Transition to low-fat milk.
- Expand dietary selection and encourage weaning from sippy cups.
Reading Habits:
- Encourage regular reading habits to promote cognitive development.
