Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing discharge instructions with the parent of an infant who has acute laryngotracheobronchitis (croup).
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I will place a dehumidifier in my child's room."
Rationale:
1. Acute laryngotracheobronchitis (croup) is a condition that causes swelling in the upper airway, leading to breathing difficulties.
2. Placing a dehumidifier in the child's room can help maintain optimal humidity levels, which can soothe the inflamed airways and ease breathing.
3. Moist air from the dehumidifier can help reduce coughing and throat irritation, providing comfort to the child.
4. This intervention is specific to managing the symptoms of croup and can support the child's recovery.
Summary:
-
Choice A: Corticosteroids are prescribed by the doctor for croup, but it is not the parent's responsibility to administer them.
-
Choice B: Clearing nasal passages with a bulb syringe is not directly related to managing croup symptoms.
-
Choice D: Encouraging fluids
