A nurse is assessing a 5-month-old infant who has had a seizure and high pitched crying with a high fever.
Question 1 of 5
The nurse anticipates the need for which diagnostic testing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Analysis of Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF). When a nurse anticipates the need for this diagnostic test, it is likely due to suspected infection or inflammation of the central nervous system. Analysis of CSF can help identify specific pathogens causing the infection or inflammation. A CT scan (
A) is more useful for imaging structural abnormalities, an EEG (
B) is used to detect electrical activity in the brain, and a Blood C&S (
D) is mainly for identifying bacteria in the blood. In this case, the focus is on diagnosing a central nervous system issue, making CSF analysis the most appropriate choice.
