ASUHAN KEPERAWATAN PADA PASIEN ANAK DHF DENGAN MASALAH KEPERAWATAN NAUSEA (Studi Kasus di ruang Fahrudin RSU Muhammadiyah Ponorogo)

Nausea is an uncomfortable sensation in the throat or epigastric area that creates the urge to vomit, often accompanied by excessive sweating (diaphoresis), increased salivation, bradycardia, paleness, and decreased respiratory rate. This case study aims to describe nursing care for a child with Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) experiencing nausea, including assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation.
The patient was a 5-year-10-month-old boy, hospitalized in Fahrudin Ward at Muhammadiyah General Hospital, Ponorogo, from July 3–5, 2025. Assessment revealed nausea during meals, decreased appetite, and paleness. Nursing interventions included education on nausea management according to SIKI guidelines, relaxation techniques, and monitoring of food and fluid intake.
By the third day, evaluation showed that the nausea problem related to gastric irritation had been resolved, with reduced nausea, increased appetite, and overall improvement in condition. The patient was advised to avoid fatty, sour, and spicy foods during recovery.
Family involvement played an important role in the success of interventions, improving understanding of the patient’s condition, fostering healthy lifestyle habits, and providing ongoing emotional support. Comprehensive nursing care proved effective in alleviating symptoms and accelerating the patient’s recovery.
