The assessment findings which would alert the nurse that the child is in respiratory distress are as follows:-
- Wheezing or a tight, whistling sound heard with every breath which can suggest the tightening of air passages making it difficult to breathe.
- Restlessness or irritation which indicates a breathing problem.
- Increase in breathing rate or the number of breaths per minute may suggest that the child is having a problem in breathing or not getting sufficient oxygen.
- Color changes in the skin e.g. a bluish color can be seen around the mouth, on the inner side of the lips, or even on the fingernails. These color changes occur when an individual is not getting as much oxygen as required.
