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

fluids are given parenterally to prevent dehydration.
2. An infant with bronchiolitis is hospitalized. The causative organism is
