Chapter 1: f6 f 6 Bronchiolitis


1. Which intervention is appropriate for the infant hospitalized with bronchiolitis?
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6



a. Position on the side with neck slightly flexed. f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6




b. Administer antibiotics as ordered. f6 f6 f6



c. Restrict oral and parenteral fluids if tachypneic.
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6




d. Give cool, humidified oxygen. f6 f6 f6



ANSWER: D
f6 f6


Cool, humidified oxygen is given to relieve dyspnea, hypoxemia, and insensible fluid loss from
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6



tachypnea. The infant should be positioned with the head and chest elevated at a 30- to 40-
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6



degree angle and the neck slightly extended to maintain an open airway and decrease
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6


pressure on the diaphragm. The etiology of bronchiolitis is viral. Antibiotics are given only
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6



if there is a secondary bacterial infection. Tachypnea increases insensible fluid loss. If the
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6



infant is tachypneic, fluids are given parenterally to prevent dehydration.

2. An infant with bronchiolitis is hospitalized. The causative organism is respiratory
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6



syncytial virus (RSV). The nurse knows that a child infected with this virus requires
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6


what type of isolation?
f6 f6 f6 f6



a. Reverse isolation f6



b. Airborne isolation f6




c. Contact Precautions f6



d. Standard Precautions f6


ANSWER: C
f6 f6


RSV is transmitted through droplets. In addition to Standard Precautions and hand washing,
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6



Contact Precautions are required. Caregivers must use gloves and gowns when entering the
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6


room. Care is taken not to touch their own eyes or mucous membranes with a contaminated
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6



gloved hand. Children are placed in a private room or in a room with other children with
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6



RSV infections. Reverse isolation focuses on keeping bacteria away from the infant. With
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6



RSV, other children need to be protected from exposure to the virus. The virus is not
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6


airborne.

3. A child has a chronic cough and diffuse wheezing during the expiratory phase of
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6


respiration. This suggests what condition?
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6



a. Asthma
b. Pneumonia
c. Bronchiolitis
d. Foreign body in trachea f6 f6 f6



ANSWER: A
f6 f6



Asthma may have these chronic signs and symptoms. Pneumonia appears with an acute onset,
f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6 f6

fever, and general malaise. Bronchiolitis is an acute condition caused by respiratory syncytial
