1. Which jintervention jis jappropriate jfor jthe jinfant jhospitalized jwith jbronchiolitis?
a. Position jon jthe jside jwith jneck jslightly jflexed.
b. Administer jantibiotics jas jordered.
c. Restrict joral jand jparenteral jfluids jif jtachypneic.
d. Give jcool, jhumidified
joxygen.jANS: jD
Cool, jhumidified joxygen jis jgiven jto jrelieve jdyspnea, jhypoxemia, jand jinsensible jfluid jloss jfrom
tachypnea. jThe jinfant jshould jbe jpositioned jwith jthe jhead jand jchest jelevated jat ja j30- jto j40-
degreejangle jand jthe jneck jslightly jextended jto jmaintain jan jopen jairway jand jdecrease jpressure
jon jthe jdiaphragm. j The jetiology jof jbronchiolitis jis jviral. jAntibiotics jare jgiven jonly jif j there jis
ja jsecondary jbacterial jinfection. jTachypnea jincreases jinsensible jfluid jloss. jIf jthe jinfant jis
jtachypneic, jfluids jare jgiven jparenterally jto jprevent jdehydration.
2. An jinfant jwith jbronchiolitis jis jhospitalized. jThe jcausative jorganism jis jrespiratory
jsyncytialjvirus j(RSV). jThe jnurse jknows jthat ja jchild jinfected jwith jthis jvirus jrequires jwhat
jtype jof jisolation?
a. Reverse jisolation
b. Airborne jisolation
c. Contact jPrecautions
d. Standard
jPrecautionsjANS: jC
RSV jis jtransmitted jthrough jdroplets. jIn jaddition jto jStandard jPrecautions jand jhand jwashing,
Contact jPrecautions jare jrequired. jCaregivers jmust juse jgloves jand jgowns jwhen jentering jthe
jroom. jCare jis jtaken jnot jto jtouch jtheir jown jeyes jor jmucous jmembranes jwith ja jcontaminated
jgloved jhand. jChildren jare jplaced jin ja jprivate jroom jor jin ja jroom jwith jother jchildren jwith
jRSV jinfections. jReverse jisolation jfocuses jon jkeeping jbacteria jaway jfrom jthe jinfant. jWith
jRSV, jotherjchildren jneed jto jbe jprotected jfrom jexposure jto jthe jvirus. jThe jvirus jis jnot
jairborne.
3. A jchild jhas ja jchronic jcough jand jdiffuse jwheezing jduring jthe jexpiratory jphase jof
jrespiration.jThis jsuggests jwhat jcondition?

,virus. jForeign jbody jin jthe jtrachea joccurs jwith jacute jrespiratory jdistress jor jfailure jand
jmaybejstridor.
4. Which jnursing jdiagnosis jis jmost jappropriate jfor jan jinfant jwith jacute jbronchiolitis
jdue jtojrespiratory jsyncytial jvirus j(RSV)?
a. Activity jIntolerance
b. Decreased jCardiac jOutput
c. Pain, jAcute
d. Tissue jPerfusion, jIneffective
j(peripheral)jANS. jA
Rationale j1: jActivity jintolerance jis ja jproblem jbecause jof jthe jimbalance jbetween joxygen
jsupplyjand jdemand. jCardiac joutput jis jnot jcompromised jduring jan jacute jphase jof
jbronchiolitis. jPain jis jnot jusually jassociated jwith jacute jbronchiolitis. jTissue jperfusion
j(peripheral) jis jnot jaffected jby jthis jrespiratory-disease jprocess.
Rationale j2: jActivity jintolerance jis ja jproblem jbecause jof jthe jimbalance jbetween joxygen
jsupplyjand jdemand. jCardiac joutput jis jnot jcompromised jduring jan jacute jphase jof
jbronchiolitis. jPain jis jnot jusually jassociated jwith jacute jbronchiolitis. jTissue jperfusion
j(peripheral) jis jnot jaffected jby jthis jrespiratory-disease jprocess.
Rationale j3: jActivity jintolerance jis ja jproblem jbecause jof jthe jimbalance jbetween joxygen
jsupplyjand jdemand. jCardiac joutput jis jnot jcompromised jduring jan jacute jphase jof
jbronchiolitis. jPain jis jnot jusually jassociated jwith jacute jbronchiolitis. jTissue jperfusion

Rationale j4: jActivity jintolerance jis ja jproblem jbecause jof jthe jimbalance jbetween joxygen
jsupplyjand jdemand. jCardiac joutput jis jnot jcompromised jduring jan jacute jphase jof
jbronchiolitis. jPain jis jnot jusually jassociated jwith jacute jbronchiolitis. jTissue jperfusion
j(peripheral) jis jnot jaffected jby jthis jrespiratory-disease jprocess.
Global jRationale: jActivity jintolerance jis ja jproblem jbecause jof jthe jimbalance jbetween
joxygenjsupply jand jdemand. jCardiac joutput jis jnot jcompromised jduring jan jacute jphase jof
jbronchiolitis.jPain jis jnot jusually jassociated jwith jacute jbronchiolitis. jTissue jperfusion

Chapter j2: jAsthma
1. The jnurse jis jcaring jfor ja jchild jhospitalized jfor jstatus jasthmaticus. jWhich jassessment
jfindingjsuggests jthat jthe j childs jcondition j is jworsening?

jwork jof jbreathing jhypoventilation joccurs jleading jto jincreased jcarbon jdioxide jlevels. jThe
jnurse jwould jbe jalert jfor jsigns jof jhypoxia. jThirst jwould jreflect jthe jchilds jhydration jstatus.
jBradycardia jis jnot ja jsign jof jhypoxia; jtachycardia jis. jClubbing jdevelops jover ja jperiod jof
jmonths jin jresponse jto jhypoxia. jThe jpresence jof jclubbing jdoes jnot jindicate jthe jchilds
