The traps that quietly cost points

These are the point-loss patterns iHuman never tells you about. We map every one for this case.

Bronchiolitis in < 2yo: supportive care only — no antibiotics, no bronchodilators per AAP
RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis — nasal aspirate for rapid testing
Must assess respiratory distress: nasal flaring, retractions, grunting, tachypnea, O2 sat
Hydration status is critical — many hospitalizations are for feeding difficulties, not hypoxia
