Question 1 of 5
A nurse is monitoring an infant who is 6 months old and has sneezing, coughing, nasal congestion, intermittent fever, and apneic spells. The nurse should recognize these findings are consistent with which of the following diagnoses?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Bronchiolitis. In infants with symptoms of sneezing, coughing, nasal congestion, fever, and apneic spells, bronchiolitis is the most likely diagnosis. Bronchiolitis is a common viral respiratory infection in infants, often caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The symptoms described align with bronchiolitis, which typically presents with respiratory distress, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. Epiglottitis (
A) is characterized by severe throat inflammation, drooling, and difficulty swallowing. Influenza (
C) typically presents with high fever, muscle aches, and respiratory symptoms. Croup (
D) is characterized by a barking cough and stridor.
Therefore, based on the symptoms described, bronchiolitis is the most appropriate diagnosis for the infant.
