A 5-month-old infant scheduled for a lumbar puncture to rule out meningitis.


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is planning care for a 5-month-old infant who is scheduled for a lumbar puncture to rule out meningitis. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Apply a eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine cream topically 15 min prior to the procedure. This is done to provide local anesthesia to minimize discomfort for the infant during the lumbar puncture. Applying the cream 15 minutes before the procedure allows sufficient time for it to take effect. Holding the infant's chin to his chest and knees to his abdomen (choice
A) is incorrect as it can obstruct the procedure and is not recommended. Placing the infant in an infant seat for 2 hours following the procedure (choice
B) is unnecessary and can be uncomfortable for the infant. Keeping the infant NPO for 6 hours prior to the procedure (choice
C) is not required for a lumbar puncture.
