A nurse is planning care for a 5-month-old infant who is scheduled for a lumbar puncture to rule out meningitis. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?

A. Applying topical anesthetic 15 minutes prior to the procedure helps minimize pain and discomfort during the lumbar puncture. B. Keeping the infant NPO for 6 hours prior to the procedure is not required unless the procedure is under general anesthesia. C. While the infant will need to be in a specific position for the procedure, holding the chin and knees in a specific position is not the primary concern here. D. Placing the infant in an infant seat is not appropriate post-procedure; the infant should be monitored for complications and allowed to rest.
