Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Liver and renal function tests will not identify the causative organism.
Rationale 2: The CBC will reveal the impact of infective agents on the immune system, but will not identify the agent.
Rationale 3: Obtaining a urine specimen is not the best method of determining this client's infective agent.
Rationale 4: A high fever is usually indicative of a systemic infection. Blood cultures are the best way of identifying the causative organism.
