A Nurse Is Caring for a Young Child Who Is

A nurse is caring for a young child who is suspected of having meningitis. A spinal tap culture is pending. If it comes back positive for N. meningitidis, from a public health perspective it is important that the nurse:

A) Provide his family with information about the disease in simple to understand language.
B) Inform the public health department, the child's day care, and other caregivers so they can monitor for symptoms of the infection.
C) Promptly admit the child to the ICU.
D) Double the dose of antibiotics.
