A culture specimen should be obtained before antibiotics are given to ensure that the
antibiotic does not interfere with accurate culture results.
The antibiotic is the most important of these prescriptions and should be given as soon as
possible to counteract any infective processes, but it should not be administered before the
specimen is obtained for the culture.
The acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a comfort measure that may be administered at any time, but
does not take precedence over the antibiotic, however, it would facilitate pain relief prior to
obtaining a
chest x-ray which would require additional movement and possibly increased discomfort.
Arranging for a chest radiograph will not interfere with implementation of any of the other
prescriptions; it may take time to schedule a radiograph.
The client's response to the acetaminophen should have lowered the client's temperature
within 30 minutes.
