A child with submersion injury
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is caring for a child who experienced a submersion injury. Which of the following is the priority action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Assist with intubation. In a submersion injury, the child may have aspirated water leading to respiratory distress. Intubation helps secure the airway and ensures adequate oxygenation. This is the priority action to prevent further complications like hypoxia or respiratory failure. Obtaining an ABG sample (
B) and administering an IV bolus (
C) may be necessary but are not as urgent as securing the airway. Applying warming blankets (
D) is important for hypothermia but comes after addressing airway issues. Other choices are not relevant to the immediate management of a submersion injury.
