,Actions: Initiate droplet precautions and request a prescription for IV antibiotics

The nurse should anticipate initiating droplet precautions and requesting a
prescription for IV antibiotics. The child is most likely experiencing epiglottis
because of the clinical manifestations of a high fever, inflammation and redness of
the throat, pale skin, stridor with inspiration, painful swallowing, no cough, is sitting

,The nurse should analyze cues from the client's manifestations and determine that
the client is most likely experiencing manifestations of pneumonia and autonomic
dysreflexia. A client who has a cervical SCI is at risk for respiratory complications
because spinal innervation to the respiratory muscles is disrupted. Adventitious
breath sounds in the lower lobes bilaterally and a decrease in oxygen saturation to
less than 92% can indicate pneumonia. The client's sudden increase in blood
pressure, bradycardia, flushing of the skin above the area of the injury, headache,
and blurred vision are manifestations of autonomic dysreflexia, which can be a life-
threatening condition.
