A nurse is planning care for a child who has suspected epiglottitis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Transporting the child to radiology could exacerbate the condition due to the potential for airway obstruction in a non-controlled setting. B. Placing the child in an upright position helps maintain an open airway and makes the child more comfortable, which is crucial for a child suspected of having epiglottitis. C. Visualizing the epiglottis with a tongue depressor can trigger complete airway obstruction. This should only be done by an experienced provider in a controlled setting like the operating room. D. Obtaining a throat culture should not be done in the case of suspected epiglottitis, as it can cause further distress and potentially obstruct the airway.
