The rationale for the other choices are as follows: A: Admit the client to a private room - Correct, isolating the child helps prevent the spread of infection. C: Implement seizure precautions - Correct, bacterial meningitis can cause seizures, so precautions are necessary. D: Place the client in a semi-Fowler's position - Correct, elevating the head helps reduce intracranial pressure. Overall, B is unnecessary as monitoring head circumference is not a standard practice for bacterial meningitis.
