1. Activity intolerance.
2. Decreased cardiac output.
3. Pain, acute.
4. Tissue perfusion, ineffective (peripheral).

Rationale:
1. Activity intolerance is a problem because of the imbalance between oxygen supply and demand.
2. Cardiac output is not compromised during an acute phase of bronchiolitis.
3. Pain usually is not associated with acute bronchiolitis.
4. Tissue perfusion (peripheral) is not affected by this respiratory disease process.
