Question 1 of 5
A nurse is admitting a child who has suspected epiglottitis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Place the child on droplet precautions. The priority action when suspecting epiglottitis is to prevent the spread of infection to others. Placing the child on droplet precautions helps contain the potential transmission of the infection via respiratory droplets. This is crucial to protect other patients, visitors, and healthcare providers. Administering IV fluids (choice
A) can be important, but it is not the priority when the immediate concern is preventing the spread of infection. Initiating IV antibiotics (choice
C) is essential for treatment but should come after ensuring proper infection control measures. Obtaining an x-ray (choice
D) may be necessary for diagnosis but is not the first action to take in suspected epiglottitis.
