1. Which intervention is appropriate for the infant hospitalized with bronchiolitis?
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. ANS: D
Cool, humidified oxygen is given to relieve dyspnea, hypoxemia, and insensible fluid loss from
Maggy
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 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 syncytial virus
(RSV). The nurse knows that a child infected with this virus requires what type of isolation?
a. Reverse isolation
b. Airborne isolation
c. Contact Precautions
d. Standard Precautions ANS: C
RSV is transmitted through droplets. In addition to Standard Precautions and hand washing,
Contact Precautions are required. Caregivers must use gloves and gowns when entering the room. Care
is taken not to touch their own eyes or mucous membranes with a contaminated gloved hand. Children
are placed in a private room or in a room with other children with RSV infections. Reverse isolation
focuses on keeping bacteria away from the infant. With RSV, other children need to be protected from
exposure to the virus. The virus is not airborne.
