A PNP is completing a history and physical on a 6-week-old male infant with a 4-day history of cough and nasal congestion. He occasionally has a bluish tint around his lips while sleeping. No history of fever. Older siblings have upper respiratory infections. Appetite has been decreased due to the copious nasal secretions, but he has a normal urine output. He was delivered at 34 weeks. He had mild respiratory distress syndrome—2 days on a ventilator in the NICU. He went home in 10 days and has done well since. No immunizations. Physical exam reveals mild respiratory distress, respirations 52/min, with slight intercostal retractions. Temperature is 100.2°F, and the PNP knows this a a result of [answer3] such as interleukins and prostaglandins. Other vital signs included: HR 130/min. Perioral duskiness is seen. Oxygen saturation at room air is 83%. HEENT exam otherwise normal. Chest exam shows coarse rhonchi, expiratory wheezes. Heart rate and rhythm regular. No murmurs appreciated. Abdomen is soft and non-tender. Neurological is intact. Chest X-ray shows mild hyperexpansion, no consolidation. The next step would be to perform a nasal swab for [answer1]. The PNP suspects the infant will need [answer2] as part of the supportive care treatment plan.
