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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Position the infant's chin flexed to their chest and knees flexed to their abdomen during the procedure. This position helps to widen the spaces between the vertebrae, making it easier for the healthcare provider to access the lumbar region for the puncture. It also helps to reduce the risk of complications such as nerve damage.


Choice A is incorrect because applying a eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine cream topically is not necessary for a lumbar puncture in infants as they are typically done under sedation or anesthesia.


Choice C is incorrect because keeping the infant NPO for 6 hours prior to the procedure is not necessary for a lumbar puncture, as it does not involve the gastrointestinal tract.


Choice D is incorrect because placing the infant in an infant seat for 2 hours following the procedure is unnecessary and may not be comfortable for the infant.
