Test Bank for Pediatric Nursing: A Case-Based
Approach, 2nd Edition by
Tagher 2024

,Chapter 01: Chip Jones: Bronchiolitis

1. A nurse is providing care for a 4-month-old infant at the pediatric clinic. During the
assessment the nurse should expect that the infant has reached which developmental
milestone(s)? Select all that apply.
A. Uses pincer grasp to pick up items
B. Can roll over from front onto back
C. Pulls self up to a standing position
D. Recognizes family members' faces
E. Pushes self up on arms from a prone position
F. Sits with support

ANS: B, D, E, F
Rationale: At 4 months of age, an infant is able to roll over from prone to supine position,
push the head/chest up on arms from a prone position, sit with support and recognize the faces
of close family members. The use of the pincer grasp and the ability to pull self up to a
standing position are expected at 10 months of age.

2. A nurse is assessing a 3-month-old infant during a pediatric clinic visit. The nurse believes the
infant is demonstrating early manifestations of respiratory distress. Which clinical
manifestation(s) should the nurse document? Select all that apply.
A. Bradycardia
B. Acrocyanosis
C. Intercostal retractions
D. Nasal congestion
E. Tachypnea

ANS: D, E
Rationale: Early signs of respiratory distress in an infant include fussiness, nasal congestion,
tachypnea and no interest in feeding. Intercostal retractions are signs of moderate distress;
bradycardia can be seen with severe respiratory distress. Acrocyanosis, in and of itself, is not
a sign of respiratory distress as it can be caused by poor circulation and cold extremities.

3. A nurse is caring for an infant newly admitted for suspected bronchiolitis. The infant's parent
is very upset and states "I am so worried about my infant. What can you do to help my
infant?" What is the nurse's best response?
A. "There is no need to worry; we care for cases like this all the time."
B. "I know this is hard for you but do not worry. We will be able to discharge your
infant in a few days."
C. "No worries; having you hold the infant is very helpful. The infant will be back at
home in no time."
D. "I know it is difficult to see your infant like this. We will suction your infant and
give oxygen to make the infant comfortable.
ANS: D
Rationale: The option that states that it is difficult to see the infant like this is the only
response that explains to the parent what the nurse can do to help the infant and acknowledges

, the parent's concern. The remaining options recognize the parent's concern but do not answer
the parent's question.

4. A 3-month-old infant is hospitalized with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis. The nurse is creating a
plan of care for the infant. Which intervention is a priority?
A. Provide parental teaching on the antibiotics the infant will need to take at home.
B. Administer oxygen to maintain the infant's oxygen saturation at or above 92%.
C. Allow the parents to remain by the infant's side throughout the hospitalization.
D. Keep the infant NPO until the condition has resolved.

ANS: B
Rationale: Therapeutic management of bronchiolitis includes the administration of oxygen to
maintain O2 saturation at 92% or higher. Current evidence shows that antibiotics do not
improve outcomes in the treatment of bronchiolitis. Infants with bronchiolitis are encouraged
to feed as tolerated to maintain nutrition and fluid balance. While it is important for the
parents to be allowed to remain at the infant's side, it is not the priority.

5.
A nurse is caring for an infant admitted with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis. The nurse co mpletes
an assessment with the above findings. What is the nurse's priority in providing care to this
infant?
A. Providing adequate fluids
B. Initiating tube feedings
C. Administering oxygen
D. Administering antipyretics
ANS: C
Rationale: The priority in providing care for this infant is to administer oxygen to increa se the
O2 saturation to 92% or higher. Providing the infant adequate fluids and administering
antipyretics is also important, but these actions are not the priority. There is no need to initiate
tube feedings for this client.

6. An infant is diagnosed with bronchiolitis. The nurse is teaching the parent of how to use a
bulb suction to clear the infant's airway. What is the best way for the nurse to evaluate the
effectiveness of the teaching?
A. Guide the parent step by step through the procedure.
B. Have the parent verbalize each step of the procedure.
C. Observe the parent as he/she suctions the infant.
D. Provide the parent with written instructions of the procedure.

enMt's understanding of the teaching is
for the parent to give a return demonstration so the nurse can observe the parent's technique.
Having the parent verbalize the steps of the procedure will only tell the nurse that the parent

, remembered what was said; this does not assess the parent's ability to perform the procedure.
Guiding the parent step by step or providing the parent with written instructions will not help
the nurse evaluate the parent's understanding.

NAT: Client Needs: Health Promotion and Maintenance
TOP: Chapter 1: Chip Green: Bronchiolitis BLM: Cognitive Level: Apply

7. Which statement best describes the difference between an infant's respiratory tract and that of
an adult?
A. The infant's respiratory tract has more alveoli than the adult.
B. The trachea and bronchi have smaller lumens in the infant.
C. Because of the location of an infant's trachea airway obstruction is less likely.
D. Adults have more soft tissue surrounding the trachea than infants.

ANS: B
Rationale: The infant's respiratory tract has smaller bronchi and fewer alveoli than adults. An
infant's neck is shorter, and the trachea lumen is smaller, not larger, than an adult. An infant's
trachea has more surrounding soft tissue than an adult, which makes them more susceptible to
obstruction. The location of an infant's trachea does not make airway obstruction more likely.
It is the smaller lumen of the infant's trachea that can affect air flow.

8. A nurse is preparing a class on infant wellness for parents at a community center. The parents
have infants aged 2 to 4 months. Which information should the nurse include in the class?
Select all that apply.
A. TdaP vaccine
B. Circumcision care
C. Hearing screening
D. Developmental milestones
E. Varicella vaccine
F. DTaP vaccine

ANS: D, F
Rationale: At 2-4 months of age, infants should receive their 1st and 2nd doses of the
diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTaP) vaccine. The nurse should also provide information
on expected developmental milestones. Newborn teaching includes circumcision care and
hearing screening. The varicella vaccine is not given until 12 months of age. The TdaP
vaccine, which has a dose of tetanus, and a reduced dose of the diphtheria and pertussis, is
given to children 7 years and older.
