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 airway obstruction. Acute laryngotracheobronchitis is characterized by inflammation of the upper airway, leading to stridor. Placing the toddler in a cool mist tent helps reduce airway inflammation and swelling, thereby improving airflow and decreasing stridor. Improved hydration (
B) and decreased temperature (
C) are important but do not directly indicate effectiveness of the treatment. Barking cough (
D) is a symptom of croup, which can be a complication of laryngotracheobronchitis but does not specifically indicate treatment effectiveness.
