Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is assessing a 3-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: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Prepare for nasotracheal intubation. This is the priority action because the child is presenting with severe dyspnea and drooling, which could indicate epiglottitis, a life-threatening condition that requires immediate airway management. Nasotracheal intubation helps secure the airway and ensure adequate oxygenation. Obtaining blood cultures (
A) and inserting an IV catheter (
B) can be important, but ensuring the child's airway is the priority. Administering an antipyretic (
C) is not the priority as the child's respiratory distress takes precedence.
