Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Administer antibiotic therapy to the client. This is a priority intervention, but it is not the first action. Before administration, infection control measures should be in place.

B. Provide the client with analgesics as needed. Pain management is important but is not the first priority. The spread of infection must be controlled immediately.

C. Initiate droplet precautions for the client. Meningococcal meningitis is highly contagious. Droplet precautions (mask, private room) must be initiated immediately to prevent transmission before other interventions.

D. Educate the client about the meningococcal vaccine. Vaccination is a preventive measure but does not address the immediate risk of infection spread.

Correct Answer is {"dropdown-group-1":"E","dropdown-group-2":"E"}

Explanation

The nurse is planning care for the client. The nurse should place the client in a High Fowler's or Semi Fowler's position.

High Fowler's Position: Elevating the head of the bed to a high Fowler's position (60-90 degrees) can help improve breathing and oxygenation by allowing the lungs to expand more easily.
Semi Fowler's Position: A semi Fowler's position (30-45 degrees) is also beneficial for respiratory distress, providing some elevation to aid in breathing while being more comfortable than lying flat.
