Case study scenario

You are a Registered Nurse in the paediatric short-stay unit. Upon arrival this morning, you were given a brief handover of Bill, a 21-month-old boy, who was allocated to you. Bill was admitted yesterday through the emergency department following a four-day history of fever, coughing, copious and thick nasal secretion, lethargy, and poor feeding. Bill has a diagnosis of bronchiolitis following a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection.

After the handover, you decide to conduct your first observations on Bill and the following were recorded: Breath rate 57 breaths per minute, Temperature 39.5oC, Oxygen saturations 90%, heart rate 148 beats per minute, Blood pressure 105/70mmHg and Capillary refill 2-3 seconds. Bill appears restless, inconsolable, apathetic, and disinterested in his environment. You also noticed increased work of breathing, intercostal retractions and nasal flaring. Shelly, his mother, says Bill is still having feeding difficulties.
