An infant with respiratory syncytial virus
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting an infant who has respiratory syncytial virus. For which of the following findings should the nurse intervene?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Tachypnea. In infants with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), tachypnea is a concerning finding that indicates increased work of breathing and potential respiratory distress. The nurse should intervene to assess the infant's respiratory status, provide appropriate respiratory support, and closely monitor for worsening respiratory distress. Brisk capillary refill (
A), rhinorrhea (
C), and coughing (
D) are common symptoms of RSV and may not necessarily require immediate intervention. Tachypnea, however, is a critical finding that warrants prompt attention to prevent respiratory compromise.
