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.
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

BRONCHIOLITIS DUE TO RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS (RSV)?
a. ACTIVITY INTOLERANCE
b. DECREASED CARDIAC OUTPUT
c. PAIN, ACUTE
d. TISSUE PERFUSION, INEFFECTIVE (PERIPHERAL) ANS. A
RATIONALE 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 RESPIRATORY- DISEASE PROCESS.
RATIONALE 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 RESPIRATORY- DISEASE PROCESS.
