, Chapter 1: Bronchiolitis
1. Which Intervention Is Appropriate For The Infant Hospitalized With Bronchiolitis?
A. Position On The Side With Neck Slightly Flexed.
B. Administer Antibiotics As Ordered.
C. Restrict Oral And Parenteral Fluids If Tachypneic.
D. Give Cool, Humidified Oxygen.
ANSWER: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
Angle And The Neck Slightly Extended To Maintain An Open Airway And Decrease Pressure On The
Diaphragm. The Etiology Of Bronchiolitis Is Viral. Antibiotics Are Given Only If There Is A Secondary
Bacterial Infection. Tachypnea Increases Insensible Fluid Loss. If The Infant Is Tachypneic, Fluids Are
Given Parenterally To Prevent Dehydration.
2. An Infant With Bronchiolitis Is Hospitalized. The Causative Organism Is Respiratory Syncytial
Virus (RSV). The NURSE Knows That A Child Infected With This Virus Requires What Type Of Isolation?
A. Reverse Isolation
B. Airborne Isolation
C. Contact Precautions
D. Standard Precautions
ANSWER:C
RSV Is Transmitted Through Droplets. In Addition To Standard Precautions And Hand Washing,
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 Gloved Hand.
Children Are Placed In A Private Room Or In A Room With Other Children With RSV 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.
3. A Child Has A Chronic Cough And Diffuse Wheezing During The Expiratory Phase Of Respiration.
This Suggests What Condition?
