1. Which intervention is appropriate for the infant hospitalized with bronchiolitis?
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
a. Position on the side with neck slightly flexed. WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
b. Administer antibiotics as ordered. WQ WQ WQ
c. Restrict oral and parenteral fluids if tachypneic.
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
d. Give cool, humidified WQ WQ W
oxygen. ANSWER: D
Q WQ WQ
Cool, humidified oxygen is given to relieve dyspnea, hypoxemia, and insensible fluid loss from

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 o

n the diaphragm. The etiology of bronchiolitis is viral. Antibiotics are given only if there is a se
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
condary bacterial infection. Tachypnea increases insensible fluid loss. If the infant is tachypneic
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
, fluids are given parenterally to prevent dehydration.

2. An infant with bronchiolitis is hospitalized. The causative organism is respiratory syn
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
cytial virus (RSV). The nurse knows that a child infected with this virus requires what ty
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
pe of isolation?
WQ WQ
a. Reverse isolation WQ
b. Airborne isolation WQ
c. Contact Precautions WQ
d. Standard Prec WQ
autions ANSWER: C WQ WQ
RSV is transmitted through droplets. In addition to Standard Precautions and hand washing, Co
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
ntact Precautions are required. Caregivers must use gloves and gowns when entering the room.
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ W
Care is taken not to touch their own eyes or mucous membranes with a contaminated gloved h
Q WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
and. Children are placed in a private room or in a room with other children with RSV infection
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
s. Reverse isolation focuses on keeping bacteria away from the infant. With RSV, other children
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
need to be protected from exposure to the virus. The virus is not airborne.

WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
a. Asthma
b. Pneumonia
c. Bronchiolitis
d. Foreign body in WQ WQ

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
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
