Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a 2-month-old child with a fever of 101.7°F. The child also appears toxic with poor color. Which of the following actions would the nurse expect to implement as a priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Administer antibiotics as prescribed. In a 2-month-old child with fever and toxic appearance, sepsis is a concern. Administering antibiotics promptly is crucial to treat the potential bacterial infection causing the fever and toxicity. It is a priority to start antibiotics early to prevent complications and reduce the risk of sepsis progression.
Choice A (Replace fluids orally) is not the priority as the child may require intravenous fluids to maintain hydration.
Choice C (Obtain a specimen for complete blood count) and
Choice D (Obtain urinalysis) are important diagnostic tests but not as urgent as administering antibiotics in this critical situation.
