1. Which intervention is appropriate for the infant hospitalized with bronchiolitis?
zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw
a. Position on the side with neck slightly flexed. zw zw zw zw zw zw zw
b. Administer antibiotics as ordered. zw zw zw
c. Restrict oral and parenteral fluids if tachypneic.
zw zw zw zw zw zw
d. Give cool, humidifie zw zw
doxygen. ANSWER: D
w
z zw zw
Cool, humidified oxygen is given to relieve dyspnea, hypoxemia, and insensible fluid loss from
zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw
tachypnea. The infant should be positioned with the head and chest elevated at a 30- to 40-
zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw
degreeangle 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
zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw
secondarybacterial infection. Tachypnea increases insensible fluid loss. If the infant is tachypnei

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

yncytial virus (RSV). The nurse knows that a child infected with this virus requires
zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw
whattype of isolation?
zw zw zw
a. Reverse isolation zw
b. Airborne isolation zw
c. Contact Precautions zw
d. Standard Precaution zw

w

RSV is transmitted through droplets. In addition to Standard Precautions and hand washing,
zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw
Contact Precautions are required. Caregivers must use gloves and gowns when entering the ro

nfections.
Reverse isolation focuses on keeping bacteria away from the infant. With RSV, other children
zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw zw
needto be protected from exposure to the virus. The virus is not airborne.

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