A 6-year-old child who has bacterial meningitis.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a 6-year-old child who has bacterial meningitis. Which of the following nursing interventions is unnecessary in the client's plan of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Measuring head circumference every shift is unnecessary for a child with bacterial meningitis as it is not a priority intervention for this condition. The rationale is that measuring head circumference is more relevant for conditions such as hydrocephalus or head trauma. In bacterial meningitis, the focus should be on administering antibiotics, monitoring vital signs, assessing neurological status, providing comfort measures, implementing seizure precautions, ensuring isolation in a private room, and maintaining a semi-Fowler's position to promote cerebral perfusion. These interventions are crucial in managing bacterial meningitis and ensuring the child's well-being. Other choices are incorrect as they are essential in the care of a child with bacterial meningitis.
