This test will help identify the specific microorganism causing the infection and determine the most effective antibiotic treatment.
Choice A is incorrect because while a WBC count with differential can provide information about the presence of an infection, it does not identify the specific microorganism causing the infection.
Choice C is incorrect because while obtaining a history to determine recent injuries can provide useful information, it is not the priority action.
Choice D is incorrect because while administering a broad-spectrum antibiotic may be necessary, it should not be done before obtaining a blood specimen for culture and sensitivity testing.
