A child who has a suspected diagnosis of bacterial meningitis


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a child who has a suspected diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. Which of the following actions is the nurse's priority?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Administer antibiotics when available. Administering antibiotics promptly is crucial in bacterial meningitis to prevent complications and improve outcomes. Early treatment helps to eradicate the bacteria causing the infection. This action takes precedence over other choices because delaying antibiotic administration can lead to serious consequences such as neurological damage or death.

Choices A, B, and D are important in the care of a child with suspected bacterial meningitis but are not the priority over administering antibiotics. Reducing environmental stimuli can help prevent agitation, documenting intake and output is essential for monitoring fluid balance, and maintaining seizure precautions is important due to the risk of seizures in meningitis.
