1. John is a 10-week-old male who was born at 28 weeks gestation and weighed 0.8 kg (1 pounds, 12.2 ounces) at birth. His Neonatal ICU stay was essentially uneventful. John has an older sister, Jane, who just started preschool. Last week Jane was ill with a respiratory infection, and now John is starting to seem ill as well. He initially became ill with a runny nose, sneezing, coughing, and wheezing, and he has not been breastfeeding well. He has since been admitted to the pediatric floor with worsening respiratory symptoms that include consistent tachypnea, moderate retractions, circumoral cyanosis, and periods of apnea. Based on John’s medical history and clinical manifestations, the nurse suspects that his most likely medical diagnosis is: 2. How is this illness diagnosed? 3. John now weighs 6 pounds.
