A nurse on a pediatric unit is caring for a toddler who has poor dietary intake. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

An incident report is a tool used to document any unexpected or adverse event that occurs in the healthcare setting. It is important to report incidents to ensure proper investigation, analysis, and implementation of measures to prevent future occurrences.
In this example, the incident involves an error with an electronic IV pump resulting in the delivery of an incorrect amount of fluid, which can have serious implications for the client's safety and well-being.
The other examples listed may require further actions but may not necessarily require an incident report:
B. A nurse discovers that a client's family member has administered a PCA dose: While it is concerning that a client's family member administered a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) dose, it is more appropriate to address this situation through immediate intervention, education, and communication with the healthcare provider. An incident report may not be necessary unless there are further complications or system issues related to this incident.
C. A nurse observes another nurse remove wrist restraints one at a time from a client who is currently calm: While the observation of improper restraint removal raises concerns about proper restraint protocol, it is more appropriate to address this situation through immediate intervention and communication with the involved nurse and healthcare provider. Depending on the severity of the situation, an incident report may or may not be warranted, but it is not the primary action in this case.
D. A nurse observes a client vomiting after receiving an oral pain medication: While it is important to assess and address the client's condition and any adverse reactions, such as vomiting after receiving medication, it may not necessarily require an incident report. The nurse should assess the client, notify the healthcare provider, and document the incident appropriately in the client's medical record.

RSV is primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. To prevent the spread of RSV, it is important to implement droplet precautions. These precautions include wearing a mask and ensuring proper hand hygiene when in contact with the preschooler. This helps minimize the risk of transmitting the virus to other individuals.
Requesting an x-ray of the preschooler's neck is not indicated for RSV. RSV primarily affects the respiratory system, and an x-ray of the neck would not provide relevant information for the diagnosis or management of RSV.

Monitoring the preschooler's urine for protein is not specifically related to RSV. Proteinuria is not a typical manifestation or complication of RSV. Monitoring urine for protein is more relevant in conditions such as kidney disease or urinary tract infections.
Administering fluconazole to the preschooler is not indicated for RSV. Fluconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections, and it would not be effective against a viral infection like RSV.
