Question 1 of 5

A nurse is planning care for a 5-month-old infant who is scheduled for a lumbar puncture. Which one of the following 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 and reduce pain during the lumbar puncture. The cream numbs the skin, making the procedure less uncomfortable for the infant.

A: Placing the infant in an infant seat is not necessary following a lumbar puncture.
B: Holding the infant's chin to his chest and knees to his abdomen during the procedure may not be appropriate and could interfere with the procedure.
C: Keeping the infant NPO for 6 hours prior to the procedure is not necessary for a lumbar puncture.
In summary, the correct answer, D, is essential for providing comfort and reducing pain during the procedure, while the other options are not relevant to the care of the infant during a lumbar puncture.
