Question 1 of 5
The nurse is reviewing collected data. Which finding is consistent with acute laryngotracheobronchitis or pneumonia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Stridor is a high-pitched sound often caused by airway obstruction or inflammation, a hallmark of acute laryngotracheobronchitis, making it a key finding. The cough type, while relevant, lacks specificity to differentiate between laryngotracheobronchitis and pneumonia. Fever is common in both conditions but not distinctive. Irritability is nonspecific and does not confirm either diagnosis.
