Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a toddler who has acute laryngotracheobronchitis and has been placed in a cool mist tent. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the treatment is effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Decreased stridor. Stridor is a high-pitched, noisy sound caused by turbulent airflow through a narrowed airway. In acute laryngotracheobronchitis, the airway is inflamed and narrowed, leading to stridor. Placing the toddler in a cool mist tent helps reduce airway inflammation and swelling, leading to decreased stridor. Barking cough (choice
A) is a symptom of croup and may persist despite effective treatment. Decreased temperature (choice
C) is not directly related to the effectiveness of the cool mist tent in managing airway swelling. Improved hydration (choice
D) is important for overall health but does not specifically indicate the effectiveness of the cool mist tent in managing the toddler's condition.
