Chapter 1: b7 b 7 Bronchiolitis


1. Which intervention is appropriate for the infant hospitalized with bronchiolitis?
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7



a. Position on the side with neck slightly flexed. b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7




b. Administer antibiotics as ordered. b7 b7 b7



c. Restrict oral and parenteral fluids if tachypneic.

d. Give cool, humidified b7 b7



oxygen. ANSWER: D
b7 b7 b7


Cool, humidified oxygen is given to relieve dyspnea, hypoxemia, and insensible fluid loss from
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7



tachypnea. The infant should be positioned with the head and chest elevated at a 30- to 40-
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7



degree angle and the neck slightly extended to maintain an open airway and decrease
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7


pressure on the diaphragm. The etiology of bronchiolitis is viral. Antibiotics are given
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7



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
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7



syncytial virus (RSV). The nurse knows that a child infected with this virus requires
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7


what type of isolation?
b7 b7 b7 b7



a. Reverse isolation b7



b. Airborne isolation b7




c. Contact Precautions b7



d. Standard Precautions b7


ANSWER: C
b7 b7


RSV is transmitted through droplets. In addition to Standard Precautions and hand washing,
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7



Contact Precautions are required. Caregivers must use gloves and gowns when entering the
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7


room. Care is taken not to touch their own eyes or mucous membranes with a
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7



contaminated gloved hand. Children are placed in a private room or in a room with other
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7



children with RSV infections. Reverse isolation focuses on keeping bacteria away from the
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7



infant. With RSV, other children need to be protected from exposure to the virus. The
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7


virus is not airborne.

3. A child has a chronic cough and diffuse wheezing during the expiratory phase of
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7


respiration. This suggests what condition?
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7



a. Asthma
b. Pneumonia
c. Bronchiolitis
d. Foreign body in trachea b7 b7 b7



ANSWER: A
b7 b7



Asthma may have these chronic signs and symptoms. Pneumonia appears with an acute onset,
b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7 b7

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