An infant diagnosed with respiratory syncytial virus is being discharged. Which instruction should the nurse include in caregiver education?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Performing bulb syringe suction with nasal saline drops helps clear mucus from the infant's nasal passages, easing breathing and feeding, which is critical for RSV management. Prone sleeping increases SIDS risk, and albuterol is not typically indicated.
