A. Administer antibiotics due to increased risk of infection B. Prevent the drainage by applying a pressure dressing C. Hang intravenous (IV) fluids to replace fluids lost D. Allow fluid to drain from the patient's ear onto gauze and notify provider

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Antibiotics may be necessary if infection is confirmed, but this is not the priority action.

B. Applying a pressure dressing could increase intracranial pressure or worsen the injury.

C. IV fluids can be helpful in managing shock but are not directly related to CSF leakage management.

D. Yellowish fluid from the ear, which creates a "halo" or yellow ring around it on gauze, may indicate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. This is a sign of a potential skull fracture and requires prompt provider notification. Allowing the fluid to drain and collecting it can provide necessary information about the injury.
