An appropriate nursing diagnosis for an infant with acute bronchiolitis due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) would be:
1. Activity Intolerance.
2. Decreased Cardiac Output.
3. Acute Pain.
4. Ineffective Tissue Perfusion.
1. Activity Intolerance.
Rationale:
Activity intolerance is a problem because of the imbalance between oxygen supply and demand. Cardiac output is not compromised during an acute phase of bronchiolitis. Pain is not usually associated with acute bronchiolitis. Tissue perfusion is not affected by this respiratory-disease process.
