A child with suspected epiglottitis


Question 1 of 5

A child arrives in the emergency department with a high fever, drooling, muffled voice, inspiratory stridor, and sternal retractions. The nurse suspects epiglottitis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Place the child on droplet precautions. This is the first action the nurse should take because epiglottitis is a medical emergency that requires immediate isolation to prevent the spread of infection. Placing the child on droplet precautions helps to protect other patients and healthcare workers from potential exposure. Administering IV fluids (choice
A) can be important but is not the priority in this situation. Obtaining an x-ray (choice
B) can further confirm the diagnosis but is not urgent. Initiating IV antibiotics (choice
C) is essential for treatment but should come after the child is isolated.
