Question 1 of 5

A 20-year-old female attending college is found unconscious in her dorm room. She has a fever and a noticeable rash. She has just been admitted to the hospital. Which of the following tests is most likely to be performed first?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The most likely test to be performed first in this scenario is blood cultures. Blood cultures are crucial to investigate the fever and rash symptoms in an unconscious patient. This test is used to detect foreign invaders like bacteria, yeast, and other microorganisms in the blood, which could indicate a blood infection (bacteremia). A positive blood culture result confirms the presence of bacteria in the blood. A blood sugar check (choice
A) may be important but is less likely to be the first test in this context. A CT scan (choice
B) and arterial blood gases (choice
D) are generally not the initial tests performed to investigate a fever and rash with altered mental status.
