Chapter 1: Bronchiolitis sd s d




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




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




b. Administer antibiotics as ordered. sd sd sd




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




d. Give cool, humidified oxygen. sd sd sd




ANSWER: D
sd sd




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




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




angle and the neck slightly extended to maintain an open airway and decrease pressure on the
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd




diaphragm. The etiology of bronchiolitis is viral. Antibiotics are given only if there is a
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd




secondary bacterial infection. Tachypnea increases insensible fluid loss. If the infant is
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd




tachypneic, fluids are given parenterally to prevent dehydration.
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd




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




virus (RSV). The nurse knows that a child infected with this virus requires what type of
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd




isolation?
sd




a. Reverse isolation sd




b. Airborne isolation sd




c. Contact Precautions sd




d. Standard Precautions sd




ANSWER: C
sd sd




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




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




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




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




infections. Reverse isolation focuses on keeping bacteria away from the infant. With RSV, other
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd




children need to be protected from exposure to the virus. The virus is not airborne.
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd




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




This suggests what condition?
sd sd sd sd




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




ANSWER: A
sd sd




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




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

virus. Foreign body in the trachea occurs with acute respiratory distress or failure and maybe
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd




stridor.

4. Which nursing diagnosis is most appropriate for an infant with acute bronchiolitis due to
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd




respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)?
sd sd sd sd




a. Activity Intolerance sd




b. Decreased Cardiac Output sd sd




c. Pain, Acute sd




d. Tissue Perfusion, Ineffective (peripheral)

ANS. A

Rationale 1: Activity intolerance is a problem because of the imbalance between oxygen supply

and demand. Cardiac output is not compromised during an acute phase of bronchiolitis. Pain is
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd




not usually associated with acute bronchiolitis. Tissue perfusion (peripheral) is not affected by
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd




this respiratory-disease process.
