Correct Answer is A

Explanation

The first action the nurse should take is to elevate the child’s leg.

This is choice A. Elevating the child’s leg can help reduce swelling and improve circulation.
After elevating the child’s leg, the nurse can then administer pain medication (choice B), petal the edges of the cast (choice C), and teach the child about cast care (choice D).

A. Administer an antibiotic to the toddler. B. Obtain a blood culture from the toddler. C. Insert an IV catheter for the toddler. D. Prepare the toddler for nasotracheal intubation.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

The nurse should prepare the toddler for nasotracheal intubation first because the toddler is experiencing severe dyspnea and drooling, which are signs of airway obstruction.

Nasotracheal intubation will help to secure the toddler’s airway and improve their breathing.

Choice A is wrong because administering an antibiotic is not the priority intervention for a toddler with airway obstruction.

Choice B is wrong because obtaining a blood culture is not the priority intervention for a toddler with airway obstruction.

Choice C is wrong because inserting an IV catheter is not the priority intervention for a toddler with airway obstruction.
