Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a child who has suspected epiglottitis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Place the child in an upright position. This is because positioning the child upright helps prevent further obstruction of the airway, a priority in suspected epiglottitis. Visualizing the epiglottis with a tongue depressor (
A) can trigger a spasm and worsen the condition. Transporting the child for a throat x-ray (
B) or obtaining a throat culture (
C) can delay immediate intervention. The focus should be on maintaining the airway first.
