1. Which intervention is appropriate for the infant hospitalized with bronchiolitis?
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
a. Position on the side with neck slightly flexed. x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
b. Administer antibiotics as ordered. x1 x1 x1
c. Restrict oral and parenteral fluids if tachypneic.

d. Give cool, humidified oxygen. x1 x1 x1
ANSWER: D
x1 x1
Cool, humidified oxygen is given to relieve dyspnea, hypoxemia, and insensible fluid loss fro
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
m tachypnea. The infant should be positioned with the head and chest elevated at a 30- to 40-
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
degree angle and the neck slightly extended to maintain an open airway and decrease pressur

e on the diaphragm. The etiology of bronchiolitis is viral. Antibiotics are given only if there i
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
s a secondary bacterial infection. Tachypnea increases insensible fluid loss. If the infant is tac
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
hypneic, fluids are given parenterally to prevent dehydration.

2. An infant with bronchiolitis is hospitalized. The causative organism is respiratory syncytia
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
l virus (RSV). The nurse knows that a child infected with this virus requires what type of
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x
1isolation?
a. Reverse isolation x1
b. Airborne isolation x1
c. Contact Precautions x1
d. Standard Precautions x1 x
ANSWER: C
1 x1
RSV is transmitted through droplets. In addition to Standard Precautions and hand washing,
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
Contact Precautions are required. Caregivers must use gloves and gowns when entering the ro

ved hand. Children are placed in a private room or in a room with other children with RSV i
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
nfections. Reverse isolation focuses on keeping bacteria away from the infant. With RSV, other
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x
children need to be protected from exposure to the virus. The virus is not airborne.

n. This suggests what condition?
x1 x1 x1 x1
a. Asthma
b. Pneumonia
c. Bronchiolitis
d. Foreign body in trachea x1 x1 x1
ANSWER: A

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