Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is assessing a 2-year-old child who has a high fever, severe dyspnea, and is drooling. Which of the following actions is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Prepare for nasotracheal intubation. This is the priority action as the child's symptoms indicate a potential airway obstruction, which can be life-threatening. Nasotracheal intubation helps secure the airway and ensure adequate oxygenation and ventilation. Obtaining blood culture specimens (
A) can be important but not as immediate as ensuring airway patency. Administering an antipyretic (
B) may help reduce fever but does not address the urgent need for airway management. Inserting an IV catheter (
D) is important for fluid administration but is not the immediate priority over securing the airway.
