A toddler who has acute otitis media
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a toddler who has acute otitis media. Which of the following is the priority action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Administer analgesic medication. This is the priority action because acute otitis media is associated with pain and discomfort. Administering analgesic medication will help alleviate the child's pain and improve their comfort level. Educating the family about antibiotic administration is important, but addressing the child's immediate pain takes precedence. Applying an ice pack may provide some relief, but analgesic medication is more effective. Providing diversional activity is not a priority when the child is in pain.
