Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Respiratory rate of 74 breaths per minute. In bronchiolitis, increased respiratory rate is a crucial indicator of respiratory distress in infants. It suggests potential respiratory failure or inadequate oxygenation. A high respiratory rate is an early sign of respiratory compromise and requires immediate intervention. Reporting this finding promptly to the provider allows for timely assessment and appropriate management.

Other choices are incorrect because:
A: Heart rate of 152 beats per minute - While elevated, it is not as concerning as an increased respiratory rate in bronchiolitis.
B: Temperature of 99.5°F (37.5°
C) - Mild fever is common in bronchiolitis and may not require immediate reporting.
D: Blood pressure of 90/60 mmHg - Blood pressure within this range is generally acceptable in infants and not a critical concern in bronchiolitis.
