Practice Question

A nurse is collecting data from an infant who has respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Rhinorrhea

Rationale:

💎 Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) typically starts with cold-like symptoms, including rhinorrhea (runny nose).

💎 Wheezing and coughing are also common in RSV, especially as it progresses to the lower respiratory tract.

💎 Vesicles on the trunk are more characteristic of chickenpox than RSV.

💎 Clubbing of the fingers is generally associated with chronic respiratory conditions like cystic fibrosis, but not acute RSV.

💎 The first symptoms of RSV often mimic a common cold, starting with nasal congestion and rhinorrhea, before progressing to wheezing and respiratory distress.
