Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client admitted with a tentative diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. Which diagnostic procedure should be performed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For a client with a tentative diagnosis of bacterial meningitis, a lumbar puncture is the definitive diagnostic procedure. This test allows for the collection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to identify the presence of bacteria, elevated white blood cells, and other markers of infection. Bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment, and the lumbar puncture provides critical information to confirm the diagnosis and guide antibiotic therapy. While blood cultures and imaging like CT or MRI may be supportive, they do not directly confirm bacterial meningitis as effectively as CSF analysis does.
