Question 1 of 5
What is the priority nursing action?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Place the child on droplet precautions. This is the priority nursing action because it focuses on preventing the spread of infection, which is crucial in a healthcare setting. Placing the child on droplet precautions helps to minimize the risk of transmitting infectious agents through respiratory droplets. Administering antipyretic therapy (choice
A) may be necessary but is not the priority in this scenario. Placing the child in a lateral Sims position (choice
B) is unrelated to infection control. Reducing environmental stimuli (choice
D) may be helpful for certain conditions but is not the priority when dealing with potential infection control issues.
