Chapter 1: Bronchiolitis sx s x




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

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




b. Administer antibiotics as ordered. sx sx sx



c. Restrict oral and parenteral fluids if tachypneic.

d. Give cool, humidified oxygen. sx sx sx s



ANSWER: D
x sx


Cool, humidified oxygen is given to relieve dyspnea, hypoxemia, and insensible fluid loss fro
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx



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



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



on the diaphragm. The etiology of bronchiolitis is viral. Antibiotics are given only if there is a
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


secondary bacterial infection. Tachypnea increases insensible fluid loss. If the infant is tachypn
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx



eic, fluids are given parenterally to prevent dehydration.

2. An infant with bronchiolitis is hospitalized. The causative organism is respiratory syncytial
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s


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

olation?
a. Reverse isolation sx



b. Airborne isolation sx




c. Contact Precautions sx



d. Standard Precautions sx s



xANSWER: C sx


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



ontact Precautions are required. Caregivers must use gloves and gowns when entering the roo
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx



m. Care is taken not to touch their own eyes or mucous membranes with a contaminated glove
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx



d hand. Children are placed in a private room or in a room with other children with RSV infec
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


tions. Reverse isolation focuses on keeping bacteria away from the infant. With RSV, other child
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx



ren 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 expiratory phase of respiration
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx



. This suggests what condition?
sx sx sx sx



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


ANSWER: A
x sx



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



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

virus. Foreign body in the trachea occurs with acute respiratory distress or failure and maybe stri

dor.

4. Which nursing diagnosis is most appropriate for an infant with acute bronchiolitis due to

Rationale 1: Activity intolerance is a problem because of the imbalance between oxygen supply

and demand. Cardiac output is not compromised during an acute phase of bronchiolitis. Pain is

not usually associated with acute bronchiolitis. Tissue perfusion (peripheral) is not affected by
