Chapter 1: Bronchiolitis v v




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




a. Position on the side with neck slightlyflexed. v v v v v v v




b. Administer antibiotics as ordered. v v v




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




d. Givecool,humidifiedoxygen. v v v




ANSWER: D
v v




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




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




vangle and the neck slightly extended to maintain an open airway and decrease pressure on the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




vdiaphragm. The etiology of bronchiolitis is viral. Antibiotics are given only if there is a secondary
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




bacterial infection. Tachypnea increases insensible fluid loss. If the infant is tachypneic, fluids are
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




given parenterally to prevent dehydration.

2. An infant with bronchiolitis is hospitalized. The causative organism is respiratorysyncytial
v v v v v v v v v v v




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




isolation?
v




a. Reverseisolation v




b. Airborneisolation v




c. Contact Precautions v




d. StandardPrecautions v




ANSWER: C
v v




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




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




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




vgloved hand. Children are placed in a private room or in a room with other children with RSV
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




vinfections. Reverse isolation focuses on keeping bacteria awayfrom the infant. With RSV, other
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




vchildren 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 expiratoryphase of respiration.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

Asthma mayhave these chronic signs and symptoms. Pneumonia appears with an acute onset,
