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 would indicate that the treatment has been effective? Which finding indicates effective cool mist tent treatment?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Decreased stridor. Stridor is a high-pitched sound produced by turbulent airflow in the upper airway, which indicates airway obstruction. 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 improved airflow and decreased stridor.
Therefore, a decrease in stridor would indicate that the treatment has been effective.

Summary of Incorrect

Choices:
B: Decreased temperature - This choice does not directly relate to the effectiveness of the cool mist tent treatment for laryngotracheobronchitis.
C: Barking cough - Barking cough is a characteristic symptom of croup, which is present in acute laryngotracheobronchitis. It does not specifically indicate the effectiveness of the cool mist tent treatment.
D: Improved hydration - While hydration is important in managing respiratory conditions
