The nurse assesses fatigue in an infant with acute bronchiolitis due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Which nursing diagnosis would be most appropriate for the infant?
A) Acute Pain
B) Ineffective Tissue Perfusion
C) Activity Intolerance
D) Decreased Cardiac Output
Answer: C
Activity intolerance is a problem because of the imbalance between oxygen supply and demand. Increased levels of fatigue may indicate the disease is more severe. 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.
