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 indicates that the treatment has been effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Decreased stridor. Stridor is a high-pitched, noisy breathing sound caused by turbulent airflow due to narrowing of the upper airway. In acute laryngotracheobronchitis, the airway is inflamed and narrowed, leading to stridor. Placing the toddler in a cool mist tent helps reduce inflammation and swelling in the airway, which would ultimately decrease stridor. Improved hydration (
B) is important for overall health but does not directly indicate the effectiveness of the treatment. Decreased temperature (
C) may be a sign of improvement but is not specific to the treatment. Barking cough (
D) is a symptom of laryngotracheobronchitis and not an indicator of treatment effectiveness in this context.
