Question

Month-old infant is admitted to the pediatric unit with severe tachypnea, flaring of the nares, wheezing, and irritability. the parents are told that the child has bronchiolitis and needs to be hospitalized for observation and treatment. while assessing the infant, the nurse determines that the infant is in respiratory failure. what clinical finding supports the nurse's conclusion?

Answer 1

Answer: Prompt nonattendance of breath sounds happens when bronchioles wind up plainly discouraged and respiratory disappointment. A wheezing hack is a typical of bronchiolitis and is caused by the limited aviation routes; it doesn't proclaim respiratory disappointment. Intercostal withdrawals happen with mellow and direct respiratory pain in babies. Fine crackles are a normal event with bronchiolitis, not an indication of respiratory disappointment.
