Extract:
A nurse is planning care for a child who has suspected epiglottitis.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct action for the nurse to take is option B: Place the child in an upright position. This is the best immediate action as it helps prevent aspiration in a child with suspected epiglottitis. Placing the child upright helps maintain a patent airway and reduces the risk of airway obstruction. Options A, C, and D involve procedures that can potentially worsen the condition by triggering a gag reflex or causing distress to the child. Option A exposes the child to unnecessary radiation, option C may induce gagging and worsen the airway obstruction, and option D delays immediate intervention. Overall, placing the child in an upright position is the most appropriate and safest initial action in this scenario.
