abscesses.
F.
Find out what home therapies and over-the-counter (OTC)
medications the client tried before the ofce visit.
G.
Ask if the client took a trip recently, especially by airplane. H.
In pediatric clients, look for a foreign object up thenose. I.
Inquire whether the client was swimming or diving recently. J.
Review the client’s medical history for cystic brosis, nasal
anatomic abnormalities, asthma, and other respiratory problems.

A.
Headache (cluster, migraine).
B.
Rhinitis (allergic or nonallergic).

DIAGNOSES
PHYSICAL
A.
Check vitals: temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and
EXAMINATION
respirations.
B.
Inspect:
1.
Examine general appearance:
a.
Look for erythema, swelling, or tenderness. Facial
cellulitis may be an indication that acute sinusitis has spread outside of the sinuses.
2.
Examine eyes
a.
Look for periorbital swelling, erythema, epiphora,
“allergic shiners,” and signs of orbital cellulitis (con­junctival edema, drooping lid, decreased extraocular motion, and vision loss).
b.
Thorough ophthalmologic examination with extra-
ocular movements and visual acuity should be per­formed to rule out subperiosteal or intraorbital abscess.
3.
Examine ears, nose, and throat.
a.
Inspect nose with nasal speculum for erythema,
edema, discharge, patency, anatomic abnormalities, polyps, or foreign body.
b.
Inspect oral cavity for evidence of oroantral stula
or dental causes for sinusitis or facial pain.
C.
Palpate:
1.
All sinuses for pain and tenderness:
a.
Frontal sinusitis: pain on palpation of the forehead.
b.
Maxillary sinusitis: the cheeks are tender, or the cli-
ent may present with jaw and tooth pain.
c.
Ethmoid sinusitis: swelling and tenderness in the
eyelids and surrounding tissue.
2.
Neck for lymphadenopathy.
D.
Auscultate:
1.
Heart.
2.
Lungs.
E.
Perform neurologic examination:
1.
Evaluate for signs of meningeal irrigation, assessing
Brudzinski sign, Kernig sign, and nuchal rigidity.
DIAGNOSTIC
A.
Diagnosis is usually made through history and physical. B.
If the disease is refractory to initial treatment or becomes
TESTS
recurrent or chronic, further investigation may be necessary.
1.
Rule out immunodeciencies (cystic brosis, Wegener
granulomatosis, sarcoidosis, Churg–Strauss syndrome).
2.
Skin testing for allergies.
3.
Nasal endoscopy to detect abnormalities of the
nasal passage (polyps, pus). Culture can be obtained for culture-directed antimicrobial treatment.
4.
Sinus CT is the best imaging method for viewing para-
nasal sinuses and reveals extent of inammation and dis­ease. CT is not recommended for routine investigation of acute rhinosinusitis. It is recommended for chronic and recurrent sinusitis, for clients in immunocompromised state, or if there is concern for complications (fungal sinus­itis, disease that extends outside of the sinus cavities, etc.).
PLAN
A.
General interventions:
1.
Preventive techniques are suggested to avoid getting
acute viral sinusitis (hand hygiene, saline irrigations, etc.).
2.
Clients with recurrent sinusitis should be encouraged
to keep a log of potential triggers. Avoiding these trig­gers helps prevent the onset of acute sinusitis (e.g., avoid smoke and use nasal saline irrigations).
3.
Clients with frequent recurrent sinusitis should have fur-
ther workup for other causes, such as autoimmune diseases.
B.
Client teaching: See Client Teaching Guide for this chapter,
"Sinusitis."
1.
Teach client to avoid allergens and irritants, including
smoking and secondhand smoke.
2.
Encourage regular use of nasal saline irrigations, espe-
cially after exposure to allergens or irritants or with onset of sinusitis symptoms.
3.
Encourage the client to use medications as prescribed.
OTC medications, such as pain relievers and deconges­tants, can be helpful but should be used with caution.
4.
Application of warm, moist compress to the face sev-
eral times a day will help with discomfort.
5.
Humidiers can be helpful, especially in the winter
months.
C.
Pharmaceutical therapy:
1.
Acute viral sinusitis:
a.
Supportive care, OTC medications (analgesics and
decongestants), and saline irrigations.
2.
Acute bacterial sinusitis:
a.
Pediatric drugs of choice for acute sinusitis:
i.
First-line treatment: Augmentin 45 mg/kg/d
PO in BID dosing for 10 to 14 days.
ii.
Second-line treatment: Augmentin 90mg/kg/d
PO in BID dosing for 10 to 14 days.
iii.

14 days.
2)
Cefpodoxime 10 mg/kg/d PO in divided
doses Q12H.

INDIVIDUAL
A.
Pediatrics:
1.
CONSIDERATIONS
Children with clinical course consistent with acute
bacterial rhinosinusitis (purulent drainage, fever, etc. for greater than 7–10 days) should be treated with antimicro­bial therapy at time of presentation.
B.
Pregnancy:
1.
Pregnant individuals typically have worse rhinitis or
sinusitis symptoms due to increase in blood volume and shifts to extravascular space.
2.
Watchful waiting is suggested for clients who have
good follow-up.
3.
Antibiotic therapy: Weigh risk and benet of treating
sinusitis during pregnancy. Antimicrobials with category B rating include penicillins, cephalosporins, clindamycin, erythromycin, and azithromycin. Avoid doxycycline and uoroquinolones.
4.
Antihistamines: Loratadine and cetirizine are
category B.
5.
Intranasal steroid: Budesonide is category B.
C.
Geriatrics:
1.
Chronic sinusitis can affect cognitive functioning in the
older adults population.
2.
It is important to treat sinusitis in the geriatric popula-
tion, but considerations need to be made when prescribing antibiotics in the setting of other comorbidities (e.g., renal and hepatic insufciency).

voke an allergic reaction).
PREVENTION/CARE
A.
The best prevention is to avoid things you know you are allergic to, for example, pollens and molds, pet dander, dust mites,
and insects (cockroaches).
B.
Target to make bedroom as “allergy-free” by removing carpets, rugs, and window drapes; wash sheets weekly using hot water;
mop oors weekly; remove books and stuffed animals; and use pillow and mattress covers.
C.
Do not blow your nose too frequently or too hard. This will irritate the nasal tissue. It may also cause your eardrum to perforate
(tear). Blow through both nostrils at the same time to equalize the pressure.
D.
Use tissues when you blow your nose. Dispose of them and then wash your hands. If no tissue is available, do the “elbow
sneeze” into the bend of your arm (away from your open hands). Always wash your hands.
TREATMENT
A.
Use a high-efciency particulate air (HEPA) lter to reduce exposure to dust mites.
B.
Keep humidity level between 30% and 50% to reduce exposure to dust mites and molds.
C.
Dust your house often, using a cloth and cleaner or polish to keep dust from ying.
D.
Allergy testing may need to be done if you have had allergies for a long time. Ask your healthcare provider about a consultation
with an allergist.

B.
Decongestants: Decongestants may increase blood pressure and may also interact with other medications. Please consult
with your provider before using these medications.
C.
Nasal sprays: Nasal saline spray is safe to use in the nose several times a day. Nasal steroid spray is the treatment of choice
for chronic management of nasal allergies. Nasal decongestant sprays may be used for a short period of time. Do NOT use longer than 3 days to prevent rebound side effects from this medication. Consult with your provider if using a nasal decongestant spray.

CLIENT TEACHING GUIDE
SINUSITIS
PROBLEM Sinusitis (sinus infection) is classied as an acute, subacute, or chronic condition. In acute sinusitis, the sinus inam-
mation is resolved after treatment. In subacute sinusitis, there are persistent symptoms despite treatment. In chronic sinusitis, episodes of prolonged inammation continue longer than 3 months despite treatment.
CAUSE Sinusitis occurs when the mucous lining in your sinus cavities becomes inamed due to a virus, bacteria, or allergen. This
can also occur after a cold or tooth abscess.
PREVENTION/CARE
A. If you have a tooth abscess, see your dentist and nish all your antibiotics. B. Do not blow your nose too frequently or too hard. This will irritate the nasal tissue. It may also cause your eardrum to perforate
(tear). Blow through both nostrils at the same time to equalize pressure.
C. To prevent spreading germs to others, cover your mouth when you cough.
1. Use tissues when you blow your nose. Dispose of them and then wash your hands.
2. If no tissue is available, do the “elbow sneeze” into the bend of your arm (away from your open hands).
D. Always wash your hands after coughing or using tissues.
TREATMENT PLAN
A. Avoid smoking and secondhand smoke. B. Use steam inhalation to liquefy secretions. C. Use a room humidier. Keep your humidier clean—it can grow bacteria.
Activity: There are no activity restrictions; however, diving, swimming, and ying may increase the occurrence of symptoms or make them worse. Make sure to get plenty of rest each day.
Diet: Eat a healthy diet. Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water every day.
Medications: Take all of your prescribed medications (antibiotics and/or steroids), even if you feel better.
Over-the-Counter Medications:
A. Pain relievers: ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed for facial pain. B. Antihistamines: Some antihistamines may cause drowsiness. Use with caution. You may consider using a different antihista-
mine during the day that does not cause drowsiness or take the medication before bed.
C. Decongestants: Decongestants may increase blood pressure and may also interact with other medications. Please consult
with your provider before using these medications.
D. Nasal sprays: Nasal saline spray is safe to use in the nose several times a day. Nasal decongestant sprays may be used for
a short period of time. Do NOT use longer than 3 days to prevent rebound side effects from this medication. Consult with your provider if you are using a nasal decongestant spray.

AVULSED TOOTH
DEFINITION
A. An avulsed tooth is a tooth that has been completely dis-
placed from its alveolar socket.
INCIDENCE
A. Avulsion accounts for 0.5% to 3% of all dental injuries to the
permanent teeth. It occurs predominantly in children between the ages of 7 and 10 years. Multiple studies have shown that this is one of the most serious dental injuries. The upper cen­tral incisor is the most frequent tooth that is avulsed.
PATHOGENESIS
A. Trauma causes a tooth to be completely displaced from its
alveolar socket.
PREDISPOSING FACTOR
A. Erupting teeth are most susceptible to avulsion due to
immature periodontal ligaments.
COMMON COMPLAINTS
A. Tooth displaced. B. Pain. C. Bleeding.
SUBJECTIVE DATA
A. Ascertain the client’s age and note if the avulsed tooth is
primary or permanent. Only permanent teeth are considered for reimplantation.
B. Determine the time span for which the tooth has been
avulsed (minutes or hours).
C. Ask the client about the underlying cause or trauma. Are
there any other injuries that need assessment, such as lacera­tions or concussion?
D. Did the tooth fall out of the mouth or remain in the mouth?
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
A. Check temperature, pulse, respirations, and blood pressure. B. Inspect:
1. Observe general appearance:
a. Check for signs that are secondary to traumatic eti-
ology, such as lacerations, concussion, facial injury, and eye injury.
b. Keep the client calm. Check to be sure that the client is
not in respiratory distress or has not aspirated the tooth.
2. Inspect gums and avulsed tooth, noting poor dental
hygiene. Do not touch the root surface.
3. If the tooth is not in the mouth, rinse off briey under
cold running water (<10 seconds).
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
A. Dental x-ray should be considered to assess for fracture.
Immediate referral to a dental specialist for emergency dental
evaluationis recommended.
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSES
A. Avulsed tooth. B. Luxation injuries: concussion and subluxation.
PLAN
A. General interventions:
1. Refer immediately for emergency dental evaluation
and treatment as prognosis is highly dependent on actions taken promptly after the avulsion occurs.
2. Clinician should attempt to reposition the tooth into the
socket if there is no concern of the child swallowing the tooth or dropping it. If this is not possible, place the tooth in a glass of milk or another suitable storage medium, such as saline or Hanks balanced storage medium. Avoid storage in water.
B. Client teaching:
1. If the client or parent is not in a healthcare setting,
phone triage should include informing the client not to let the tooth air-dry; it may cause permanent destruction of the periodontal cells.
2. Instruct the client to avoid touching the root base, and
to attempt to insert the tooth in the tooth socket and bite on a gauze or a small handkerchief to help hold the tooth in position.
3. If unable to transport inside the tooth socket, as above,
advise client to use another medium to transport the tooth, such as milk.
C. Pharmaceutical therapy:
1. Consider administering oral antibiotics prophylac-
tically. Consider tetracycline or doxycycline for adults. Amoxicillin may be used for children.
2. If the tooth had contact with soil, determine tetanus
status and administer tetanus booster if necessary.
FOLLOW-UP
A. Follow-up is done with the dentist until stabilization is
complete.
CONSULTATION/REFERRAL
A. Immediately refer the client to a dentist or an ED. Teeth
replanted within 30 minutes have the best prognosis. Teeth avulsed longer than 2 hours have a poor prognosis.
INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. Pediatrics:
1. Primary teeth do not need to be replaced.

DENTAL ABSCESS
DEFINITION
A. A dental abscess is a space infection of the gingival or peri-
odontal tissues.
INCIDENCE
A. Incidence is unknown.
PATHOGENESIS
A. An abscess occurs when bacteria gain access into the
gingiva or periodontal tissues. The most common bacteria are Streptococcus viridans, Peptostreptococcus, Prevotella, and staphylococci.
C. Note if pain is brought on by contact with hot, cold, or
sweet substances; this may indicate periapical abscess or den­tal caries.
D. Ask if the client has a fever. If so, how high and for how
long?
E. Inquire about history of mitral valve prolapse or rheu-
matic fever.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
A. Check temperature, pulse, respirations, and blood pressure. B. Inspect:
1. Inspect teeth for caries, mobility, or protrusion from
sockets, and gum disease.
2. Examine the teeth for erosion, enamel decalcication,
diminished tooth size, discoloration, and sensitivity to temperature changes.
C. Palpate:
1. Neck and submental area for enlarged, tender lymph
nodes.
D. Percuss:
1. Teeth tenderness is diagnostic of an abscess.
E. Auscultate:
1. Heart if indicated.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
A. None usually required; however, check white blood cell
count (WBC)if cellulitis is suspected.
PREDISPOSING FACTORS
A. Poor dental hygiene. B. Dental caries. C. Certain underlying diseases, such as diabetes melli-
tus, rheumatoid arthritis, and various genetic disorders that impair neutrophil function.
COMMON COMPLAINTS
A. Constant, severe jaw pain. B. Swelling. C. Difculty in chewing with tooth due to pain.
OTHER SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
A. Fever. B. Warmth and redness. C. Loss of appetite. D. Heat and cold sensitivity. E. Halitosis.
POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS
A. Risk of complications increases with valvular disease.
The following are the complications:
1. Extension to potential orofacial space infections (buccal,
submental, masticator, and infratemporal fossa) or deep in the head and neck (parapharyngeal space infections).
2. Facial cellulitis.
4. Orocutaneous stula.
5. Sepsis.
6. Hematogenous dissemination to native or prosthetic
heart valves, joints, or other devices.
SUBJECTIVE DATA
A. Elicit information from the client regarding the onset,
duration, location, and quality of pain.
B. Note the radiation of pain as well as alleviating or aggra-
vating factors.
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSES
A. Periodontal disease. B. Cellulitis. C. Oral cancer.
PLAN
A. General interventions:
1. Initiate antimicrobial therapy.
2. Refer to the dentist for immediate evaluation and
treatment.
B. Client teaching:
1. Advise the client to apply a heating pad to the painful
facial area for comfort.
2. Advise a soft diet until pain resolves.
3. Review daily dental care and hygiene with the client.
C. Pharmaceutical therapy:
1. Given increasing resistance due to beta-lactamase
production, amoxicillin-clavulanate 875mg BID for 7 to 14 days (pediatric dosage 25–45 mg/kg Q24H divided BID, maximum dosage 1,750 mg/d, using amoxicillin 400mg/clavulanate 57mg formulation) is the preferred regimen.
2. For penicillin-allergic clients, use clindamycin 450mg
Q8H for 7 to 14 days (pediatric dosage 10–30mg/kg Q24H divided every 6 to 8 hours).
3. For discomfort and fever, use ibuprofen (Advil) 400 to
600mg orally every 6 to 8 hours, not to exceed 1,200mg/d (pediatric dosage: 10mg/kg/dose every 6 to 8 hours).
FOLLOW-UP
A. Follow up 2 to 3 days after dental examination to evaluate
results.
CONSULTATION/REFERRAL
A. Advise the client to see a dentist promptly, even if pain
resolves.
EPIGLOTTITIS

INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. Pregnancy:
1. It is safe for clients to have dental procedures during
pregnancy.
2. X-ray lms may be taken with a lead shield over the cli-
ent’s abdomen.
3. Epinephrine and nitrous oxide should not be used dur-
ing dental procedures.
4. Tetracycline should not be used; it causes staining of
fetal bones and teeth.

EPIGLOTTITIS
DEFINITION
A. Epiglottitis is acute, rapidly progressive inammation and
swelling of the epiglottis. Due to dangers of potentially fatal airway obstruction, it is considered a medical emergency.
INCIDENCE
A. The incidence of epiglottis has decreased dramatically
since the Haemophilus inuenzae type B (Hib) vaccine was introduced.
B. In immunized populations, epiglottis is estimated to range
from 0.6 to 0.8 cases per 100,000.
C. Epiglottis affects children and adults. It presents more
acutely in young children than in adolescents and adults.
D. The median age of children with epiglottitis has increased
from 3 years of age to 6 to 12 years since the introduction of vaccines against Hib.
PATHOGENESIS
A. Epiglottitis is most commonly caused by H. inuenzae.
Other pathogens include Streptococcus (including group A streptococcus), Staphylococcus, and H. parainuenzae.
B. Viruses have not been established as causes of acute
epiglottitis.
C. Other causes include trauma/injury or ingesting caustic
agents.
PREDISPOSING FACTORS
A. Upper respiratory infection. B. Lack of immunization against Hib. C. Immune deciency. D. Associated with comorbid conditions, including hyperten-
sion, diabetes mellitus, and substance abuse in adults.
COMMON COMPLAINTS
A. Children:
1. Sudden onset of dysphagia, drooling, and distress
(“the three Ds”) are hallmarks of epiglottitis.
2. Children present in distress and anxious; they may have
the classic “tripod” or “snifng” posture, that is, sitting position with trunk leaning forward, neck hyperextended, and chin thrust forward.
3. Sudden onset of high fever.
4. Severe sore throat and/or odynophagia.
5. Stridor.
B. Adults:
1. Sore throat or odynophagia: the most common present-
ing symptom.
2. Fever.
3. Mufed voice or hoarseness.
4. Drooling.
5. Stridor.
C. Airway compromise is less common in adults than in
children.
SUBJECTIVE DATA
A. Determine the onset, duration, and course of illness. B. Is the client’s breathing labored or does the client have
stridor?
C. Has the client had a fever? D. Has the client had trouble swallowing or talking?
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
A. Check temperature, pulse, respirations, and blood pressure. B. Inspect:
1. Observe overall appearance.
2. Check nail beds and lips for cyanosis.
3. Note drooling or difculty in swallowing.
4. Note breathing pattern and rhythm.
5. Do not examine the throat—airway occlusion may
result.
C. Auscultate:
1. Heart.
2. Lungs.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
A. Lateral neck radiograph conrms diagnosis, typically reveal-
ing enlarged edematous epiglottis (the “thumbprint sign”). However, this test may delay the establishment of an airway.
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSES
A. Epiglottitis. B. Bacterial tracheitis (a pediatric emergency). C. Laryngotracheitis. D. Angioedema (anaphylaxis). E. Foreign-body aspiration. F. Retropharyngeal or peritonsillar abscess.
PLAN
A. General interventions:
1. Prompt recognition and appropriate treatment usually
result in rapid resolution of swelling and inammation.
2. Obtain emergency medical transport to ED.
3. Management of the airway is the most critical aspect of
initial care when epiglottitis is suspected. While awaiting transport, start oxygen, assemble airway equipment, and move the client as little as possible.
4. If the client is unable to maintain an airway, bag-valve-
mask ventilation with 100% oxygen should be initiated.
B. Client teaching:
1. Educate the client and their family that epiglottitis is a
medical emergency.
2. If client has drooling and no cough, diagnosis is most
likely epiglottitis.
C. Pharmaceutical therapy:
1. Defer pharmaceutical therapy with steroids and antibi-
otics to hospital team.
