Chapter 1: Bronchiolitis +f + f
1. Which intervention is appropriate for the infant hospitalized with bronchiolitis?
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
a. Position on the side with neck slightly flexed. +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
b. Administer antibiotics as ordered. +f +f +f
c. Restrict oral and parenteral fluids if tachypneic.
+f +f +f +f +f +f
d. Give cool, humidified oxygen. +f +f +f
ANSWER: D
+f +f
Cool, humidified oxygen is given to relieve dyspnea, hypoxemia, and insensible fluid loss fro
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
m tachypnea. The infant should be positioned with the head and chest elevated at a 30- to 40-
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
degree angle and the neck slightly extended to maintain an open airway and decrease pressure
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
on the diaphragm. The etiology of bronchiolitis is viral. Antibiotics are given only if there is a
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
secondary bacterial infection. Tachypnea increases insensible fluid loss. If the infant is tachypn
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
eic, fluids are given parenterally to prevent dehydration.

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

m. Care is taken not to touch their own eyes or mucous membranes with a contaminated glove

d hand. Children are placed in a private room or in a room with other children with RSV infec
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
tions. Reverse isolation focuses on keeping bacteria away from the infant. With RSV, other child
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
ren 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
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
. This suggests what condition?
+f +f +f +f
a. Asthma
b. Pneumonia
c. Bronchiolitis
d. Foreign body in trachea +f +f +f +
ANSWER: A
f +f
Asthma may have these chronic signs and symptoms. Pneumonia appears with an acute onset, fe

ver, and general malaise. Bronchiolitis is an acute condition caused by respiratory syncytial

o respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)?

Rationale 1: Activity intolerance is a problem because of the imbalance between oxygen supply
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
and demand. Cardiac output is not compromised during an acute phase of bronchiolitis. Pain is
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
not usually associated with acute bronchiolitis. Tissue perfusion (peripheral) is not affected by
