Extract:
An infant with a history of recurrent respiratory infections.
Question 1 of 5
The mother of an infant who has been treated for recurrent respiratory infections asks the nurse why infants are at increased risk for respiratory infections. Which of the following is the best response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because infants have narrower airways that are more prone to obstruction, trapping organisms and making them more susceptible to respiratory infections. This leads to difficulty in clearing pathogens from the respiratory tract, increasing the risk of infections.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not directly address the physiological reasons why infants are at increased risk for respiratory infections.
Choice A focuses on caregiver behavior, choice B on the size of the airways, and choice D on respiratory rates, which are not the primary factors contributing to the increased risk in infants.
