Chapter 1: Bronchiolitis
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
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
