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: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Measuring head circumference every shift is unnecessary in the care of a 6-year-old child with bacterial meningitis. The rationale is that head circumference monitoring is more relevant for infants and young children to assess for abnormal brain growth, which is not a priority concern in this case.
B: Implementing seizure precautions is important as bacterial meningitis can lead to seizures.
C: Admitting the client to a private room helps prevent the spread of infection.
D: Placing the client in a semi-Fowler's position helps reduce intracranial pressure.
Therefore, monitoring head circumference unnecessarily wastes time and resources in this scenario.
