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: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Place the child in an upright position. This is crucial in suspected epiglottitis as it helps prevent further airway obstruction. Placing the child upright promotes better air exchange and reduces the risk of the epiglottis blocking the airway.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Transporting the child to radiology or visualizing the epiglottis with a tongue depressor can worsen the condition by causing agitation and potential airway obstruction. Obtaining a throat culture is not a priority in the immediate management of suspected epiglottitis.
