, 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.

Virus (RSV). The Nurse Knows That A Child Infected With This Virus Requires What Type Of
Isolation?
A. Reverse Isolation B. Airborne Isolation
C. Contact Precautions D. Standard Precautions
ANS: C
RSV Is Transmitted Through Droplets. In Addition To Standard Precautions And Hand Washing,
Contact Precautions Are Required. Caregivers Must Use Gloves And Gowns When Entering The
Room. Care Is Taken Not To Touch Their Own Eyes Or Mucous Membranes With A Contaminated
Gloved Hand. Children Are Placed In A Private Room Or In A Room With Other Children With
RSV Infections. Reverse Isolation Focuses On Keeping Bacteria Away From The Infant. With RSV,
Other Children Need To Be Protected From Exposure To The Virus. The Virus Is Not Airborne.

Respiration.
