Chapter 1: as a s Bronchiolitis
1. Which intervention is appropriate for the infant hospitalized with bronchiolitis?
as as as as as as as as as
a. Position on the side with neck slightly flexed. as as as as as as as
b. Administer antibiotics as ordered. as as as
c. Restrict oral and parenteral fluids if tachypneic.

d. Give cool, humidified oxygen. as as as
ANSWER: D
as as
Cool, humidified oxygen is given to relieve dyspnea, hypoxemia, and insensible fluid loss from
as as as as as as as as as as as as as
tachypnea. The infant should be positioned with the head and chest elevated at a 30- to 40-
as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as
degree angle and the neck slightly extended to maintain an open airway and decrease
as as as as as as as as as as as as as
pressure on the diaphragm. The etiology of bronchiolitis is viral. Antibiotics are given
as as as as as as as as as as as as as
only if there is a secondary bacterial infection. Tachypnea increases insensible fluid loss.
as as as as as as as as as as as as as
If the infant is tachypneic, fluids are given parenterally to prevent dehydration.

2. An infant with bronchiolitis is hospitalized. The causative organism is respiratory
as as as as as as as as as as
syncytial virus (RSV). The nurse knows that a child infected with this virus requires

what type of isolation?
as as as as
a. Reverse isolation as
b. Airborne isolation as
c. Contact Precautions as
d. Standard Precautions as
ANSWER: C

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

room. Care is taken not to touch their own eyes or mucous membranes with a
as as as as as as as as as as as as as as
contaminated gloved hand. Children are placed in a private room or in a room with other
as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as
children with RSV infections. Reverse isolation focuses on keeping bacteria away from the
as as as as as as as as as as as as as
infant. With RSV, other children need to be protected from exposure to the virus. The
as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as
virus is not airborne.
