Answer to Question 1

Answer:2
Rationale:Pulse oximetry reading should be 92 or greater.Oxygen by nasal cannula at 1 liter should be started initially.Medicatin g for pain,administering IV fluids,and sending lab specimens can be done once the child's oxygenation status has been addressed.
Implementation

Answer to Question 2

Answer:1
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 (peripheral) is not affected by this respiratorydisease process.
