A charge nurse on a pediatric unit is observing a newly licensed nurse provide care for a child diagnosed with acute epiglottis. Which of the following actions by the newly licensed nurse indicates that the charge nurse should intervene?

A. Assessing vital signs, including temperature and oxygen saturation, is appropriate for monitoring the child's condition and identifying any signs of respiratory distress or infection. B. Gathering necessary supplies for possible intubation is a proactive measure in case the child experiences airway obstruction. Acute epiglottitis can lead to rapid deterioration in the child's airway. C. Assessing the child's throat using a tongue blade can trigger airway obstruction in a child with acute epiglottitis, which is a medical emergency. The throat should not be examined visually due to the risk of causing a spasm or obstruction. D. Reporting an elevated white blood count is a normal part of managing acute infections, such as epiglottitis, and should be done to inform the healthcare provider of the patient's condition.
