Answer: C. Epiglottitis
Tripod position – child sits upright, leaning forward with head extended to breathe; classic sign of epiglottitis.
Answer: D. Longer periods of sleep than usual
An infant's sleeping longer than usual can indicate that the child is expending too much energy to breathe and is tiring, suggesting that the child's condition is getting worse. This should be reported to the doctor (HCP) . Fewer than seven wet diapers a day indicates that the child is not drinking enough. A temperature of 100°F (37.8°C) for longer than 2 days should be reported. Clear nasal drainage is expected. However, yellow nasal drainage lasting longer than 24 hours should be reported.
Answer: B. Epiglottitis
Answer B is correct. The child’s symptoms are consistent with those of epiglottitis, an infection of the upper airway that can result in total airway obstruction. Symptoms of strep throat, laryngotracheobronchitis, and bronchiolitis are different than those presented by the patient; therefore, answers A, C, and D are incorrect.
