A 4-year-old with bronchiolitis has been admitted to the hospital with respiratory compromise. The father asks the nurse why the physician won't prescribe an antibiotic, "My child just keeps getting worse." What is the best response by the nurse?
Bronchiolitis is almost always caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Unfortunately, antibiotics don't work on viruses." —— "You have a very good physician who I trust completely. I'm sure everything possible is being done for your child." "Oftentimes it is more beneficial to treat the symptoms of bronchiolitis rather than try to kill the bacteria with an antibiotic."
