Chapter 1: Bronchiolitis
1. Which intervention is appropriate for the infant hospitalized with bronchiolitis?
a. Position on the side with neck slightly flexed.
M
b. Administer antibiotics as ordered.
O
c. Restrict oral and parenteral fluids if tachypneic.
.C
d. Give cool, humidified oxygen.
LD
ANS: D
Cool, humidified oxygen is given to relieve dyspnea, hypoxemia, and insensible fluid loss from
tachypnea. The infant should be positioned with the head and chest elevated at a 30- to 40-degree
R
angle and the neck slightly extended to maintain an open airway and decrease pressure on the
O
diaphragm. The etiology of bronchiolitis is viral. Antibiotics are given only if there is a
W
secondary bacterial infection. Tachypnea increases insensible fluid loss. If the infant is
tachypneic, fluids are given parenterally to prevent dehydration.
KS
2. An infant with bronchiolitis is hospitalized. The causative organism is respiratory syncytial
N
virus (RSV). The nurse knows that a child infected with this virus requires what type of
isolation?
BA
a. Reverse isolation
ST
b. Airborne isolation
c. Contact Precautions
TE
d. Standard Precautions
ANS: C
G
RSV is transmitted through droplets. In addition to Standard Precautions and hand washing,
N
Contact Precautions are required. Caregivers must use gloves and gowns when entering the
room. Care is taken not to touch their own eyes or mucous membranes with a contaminated
SI
gloved hand. Children are placed in a private room or in a room with other children with RSV
R
infections. Reverse isolation focuses on keeping bacteria away from the infant. With RSV, other
children need to be protected from exposure to the virus. The virus is not airborne.
U
.N
3. A child has a chronic cough and diffuse wheezing during the expiratory phase of respiration.
This suggests what condition?
W
a. Asthma
W
b. Pneumonia
W
c. Bronchiolitis
d. Foreign body in trachea
ANS: A
Asthma may have these chronic signs and symptoms. Pneumonia appears with an acute onset,
fever, and general malaise. Bronchiolitis is an acute condition caused by respiratory syncytial

The nurse would assess the child for signs of hypoxia, including restlessness, fatigue, irritability,
and increased heart and respiratory rate. As the child tires from the increased work of breathing
hypoventilation occurs leading to increased carbon dioxide levels. The nurse would be alert for
signs of hypoxia. Thirst would reflect the childs hydration status. Bradycardia is not a sign of
hypoxia; tachycardia is. Clubbing develops over a period of months in response to hypoxia. The
presence of clubbing does not indicate the childs condition is worsening.

2. Which finding is expected when assessing a child hospitalized for asthma?
.C
a. Inspiratory stridor
LD
b. Harsh, barky cough
c. Wheezing
R
d. Rhinorrhea

ANS: C
W
Wheezing is a classic manifestation of asthma. Inspiratory stridor is a clinical manifestation of
croup. A harsh, barky cough is characteristic of croup. Rhinorrhea is not associated with asthma.
KS
N
3. A child has had cold symptoms for more than 2 weeks, a headache, nasal congestion with
purulent nasal drainage, facial tenderness, and a cough that increases during sleep. The nurse
BA
recognizes these symptoms are characteristic of which respiratory condition?
a. Allergic rhinitis
ST
b. Bronchitis
TE
c. Asthma
d. Sinusitis
G
ANS: D
N
Sinusitis is characterized by signs and symptoms of a cold that do not improve after 14 days, a
low-grade fever, nasal congestion and purulent nasal discharge, headache, tenderness, a feeling
SI
of fullness over the affected sinuses, halitosis, and a cough that increases when the child is lying
R
down. The classic symptoms of allergic rhinitis are watery rhinorrhea, itchy nose, eyes, ears, and
palate, and sneezing. Symptoms occur as long as the child is exposed to the allergen. Bronchitis
U
is characterized by a gradual onset of rhinitis and a cough that is initially nonproductive but may
.N
change to a loose cough. The manifestations of asthma may vary, with wheezing being a classic
sign. The symptoms presented in the question do not suggest asthma.

4. What is a common trigger for asthma attacks in children?

Exercise is one of the most common triggers for asthma attacks, particularly in school-age
children. Febrile episodes are consistent with other problems, for example, seizures. Dehydration
occurs as a result of diarrhea; it does not trigger asthma attacks. Viral infections are triggers for
asthma. Seizures can result from a too-rapid intravenous infusion of theophyllinea therapy for
asthma.

5.The practitioner changes the medications for the child with asthma to salmeterol (Serevent).
O
The mother asks the nurse what this drug will do. The nurse explains that salmeterol (Serevent)
is used to treat asthma because the drug produces which characteristic?
.C
1. Decreases inflammation
LD
2. Decreases mucous production
3. Controls allergic rhinitis
R
4. Dilates the bronchioles
O
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Salmeterol (Serevent) is a long-acting beta2-agonist that acts by bronchodilating.
W
Steroids are anti-inflammatory, anticholinergics decrease mucous production, and antihistamines
control allergic rhinitis.
KS
Rationale 2: Salmeterol (Serevent) is a long-acting beta2-agonist that acts by bronchodilating.
Steroids are anti-inflammatory, anticholinergics decrease mucous production, and antihistamines

BA
Rationale 3: Salmeterol (Serevent) is a long-acting beta2-agonist that acts by bronchodilating.
Steroids are anti-inflammatory, anticholinergics decrease mucous production, and antihistamines
