The healthcare provider is preparing to perform a lumbar puncture on a 5-year-old child and requests ...

The healthcare provider is preparing to perform a lumbar puncture on a 5-year-old child and requests that the child be placed in a sitting position. How will the nurse assist the child to maintain this position?

▸ Tell the child to curl up in a ball and grab onto his feet and hold very still.

▸ Inform the healthcare provider that the child is too young to do the procedure in a sitting position and that the procedure must be performed with the child lying down.

▸ Assist the child to curl the body over a pillow and help the child stay in this position by stabilizing the child's neck with one hand and the child's knees with another hand.

▸ Request another nurse assist so that one nurse can hold the child's neck and head in the curved position and the other nurse can assist the child to hold the knees steady.
