PEDIATRIC NURSING: A CASE-BASED APPROACH
,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. Answer: 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
c. Contact Precautions
d. Standard Precautions Answer: 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.
,3. A Child Has A Chronic Cough And Diffuse Wheezing During The Expiratory Phase Of Respiration.
This Suggests What Condition?
a. Asthma
b. Pneumonia
c. Bronchiolitis
d. Foreign Body In Trachea Answer: A
Asthma May Have These Chronic Signs And Symptoms. Pneumonia Appears With An Acute Onset,
Fever, And General Malaise. Bronchiolitis Is An Acute Condition Caused By Respiratory Syncytial
Virus. Foreign Body In The Trachea Occurs With Acute Respiratory Distress Or Failure And Maybe Stridor.
4. Which Nursing Diagnosis Is Most Appropriate For An Infant With Acute Bronchiolitis Due
To Respiratory Syncytial Virus (Rsv)?
a. Activity Intolerance
b. Decreased Cardiac Output
c. Pain, Acute
d. Tissue Perfusion, Ineffective (Peripheral) Ans. A
Feedback 1: Activity Intolerance Is A Problem Because Of The Imbalance Between Oxygen Supply And
Demand. Cardiac Output Is Not Compromised During An Acute Phase Of Bronchiolitis. Pain Is Not Usually
Associated With Acute Bronchiolitis. Tissue Perfusion (Peripheral) Is Not Affected By This
Respiratorydisease Process.
Feedback 2: Activity Intolerance Is A Problem Because Of The Imbalance Between Oxygen Supply And
Demand. Cardiac Output Is Not Compromised During An Acute Phase Of Bronchiolitis. Pain Is Not Usually
Associated With Acute Bronchiolitis. Tissue Perfusion (Peripheral) Is Not Affected By This
Respiratorydisease Process.
Feedback 3: Activity Intolerance Is A Problem Because Of The Imbalance Between Oxygen Supply And
Demand. Cardiac Output Is Not Compromised During An Acute Phase Of Bronchiolitis. Pain Is Not Usually
Associated With Acute Bronchiolitis. Tissue Perfusion (Peripheral) Is Not Affected By This
Respiratorydisease Process.
,Feedback 4: Activity Intolerance Is A Problem Because Of The Imbalance Between Oxygen Supply And
Demand. Cardiac Output Is Not Compromised During An Acute Phase Of Bronchiolitis. Pain Is Not Usually
Associated With Acute Bronchiolitis. Tissue Perfusion (Peripheral) Is Not Affected By This
Respiratorydisease Process.
Global Feedback: Activity Intolerance Is A Problem Because Of The Imbalance Between Oxygen Supply
And Demand. Cardiac Output Is Not Compromised During An Acute Phase Of Bronchiolitis. Pain Is Not
Usually Associated With Acute Bronchiolitis. Tissue Perfusion (Peripheral) Is Not Affected By This
Respiratorydisease Process.
,Chapter 2: Asthma
1. The Nurse Is Caring For A Child Hospitalized For Status Asthmaticus. Which Assessment
Finding Suggests That The Childs Condition Is Worsening?
a. Hypoventilation
b. Thirst
c. Bradycardia
d. Clubbing Answer: A
The Nurse Would Assess The Child For Signs Of Hypoxia, Including Restlessness, Fatigue, Irritability, And
Increased Heart And Respiratory Rate. As The Child Tires From The Increased Work Of Breathing
Hypoventilation Occurs Leading To Increased Carbon Dioxide Levels. The Nurse Would Be Alert For
Signs Of Hypoxia. Thirst Would Reflect The Childs Hydration Status. Bradycardia Is Not A Sign Of
Hypoxia; Tachycardia Is. Clubbing Develops Over A Period Of Months In Response To Hypoxia. The
Presence Of Clubbing Does Not Indicate The Childs Condition Is Worsening.
2. Which Finding Is Expected When Assessing A Child Hospitalized For Asthma?
a. Inspiratory Stridor
b. Harsh, Barky Cough
c. Wheezing
d. Rhinorrhea Answer: C
Wheezing Is A Classic Manifestation Of Asthma. Inspiratory Stridor Is A Clinical Manifestation Of
Croup. A Harsh, Barky Cough Is Characteristic Of Croup. Rhinorrhea Is Not Associated With Asthma.
3. A Child Has Had Cold Symptoms For More Than 2 Weeks, A Headache, Nasal Congestion
,With Purulent Nasal Drainage, Facial Tenderness, And A Cough That Increases During Sleep. The
Nurse Recognizes These Symptoms Are Characteristic Of Which Respiratory Condition?
a. Allergic Rhinitis
b. Bronchitis
c. Asthma
d. Sinusitis Answer: D
Sinusitis Is Characterized By Signs And Symptoms Of A Cold That Do Not Improve After 14 Days, A
Low-Grade Fever, Nasal Congestion And Purulent Nasal Discharge, Headache, Tenderness, A Feeling Of
Fullness Over The Affected Sinuses, Halitosis, And A Cough That Increases When The Child Is Lying Down.
The Classic Symptoms Of Allergic Rhinitis Are Watery Rhinorrhea, Itchy Nose, Eyes, Ears, And Palate, And
Sneezing. Symptoms Occur As Long As The Child Is Exposed To The Allergen. Bronchitis Is Characterized
By A Gradual Onset Of Rhinitis And A Cough That Is Initially Nonproductive But May Change To A Loose
Cough. The Manifestations Of Asthma May Vary, With Wheezing Being A Classic Sign. The Symptoms
Presented In The Question Do Not Suggest Asthma.
4. What Is A Common Trigger For Asthma Attacks In Children?
a. Febrile Episodes
b. Dehydration
c. Exercise
d. Seizures Answer: C
Exercise Is One Of The Most Common Triggers For Asthma Attacks, Particularly In School-Age Children.
Febrile Episodes Are Consistent With Other Problems, For Example, Seizures. Dehydration Occurs As A
Result Of Diarrhea; It Does Not Trigger Asthma Attacks. Viral Infections Are Triggers For Asthma.
Seizures Can Result From A Too-Rapid Intravenous Infusion Of Theophyllinea Therapy For Asthma.
5. The Practitioner Changes The Medications For The Child With Asthma To Salmeterol
(Serevent). The Mother Asks The Nurse What This Drug Will Do. The Nurse Explains That Salmeterol
(Serevent) Is Used To Treat Asthma Because The Drug Produces Which Characteristic?
,1. Decreases Inflammation
2. Decreases Mucous Production
3. Controls Allergic Rhinitis
4. Dilates The
Bronchioles Answer: 4
Feedback 1: Salmeterol (Serevent) Is A Long-Acting Beta2-Agonist That Acts By Bronchodilating. Steroids
Are Anti-Inflammatory, anticholinergic Decrease Mucous Production, And Antihistamines Control Allergic
Rhinitis.
Feedback 2: Salmeterol (Serevent) Is A Long-Acting Beta2-Agonist That Acts By Bronchodilating. Steroids

Are Anti-Inflammatory, Anticholinergics Decrease Mucous Production, And Antihistamines Control
Allergic Rhinitis.
Global Feedback: Salmeterol (Serevent) Is A Long-Acting Beta2-Agonist That Acts By Bronchodilating.
Steroids Are Anti-Inflammatory, Anticholinergics Decrease Mucous Production, And Antihistamines
Control Allergic Rhinitis.
