A child is brought to the emergency department with a respiratory infection. The child is struggling to breath and is very anxious. The health care providers suspect epiglottitis. Which of the following interventions would be a priority?
 
  A) Have parents help hold the child down so blood work can be drawn and sent to lab so WBC count can be reviewed.
  B) Try to get the child to open his mouth so you can put a tongue blade in the back of the throat to look for swelling or pustules.
  C) Place the child upright in bed and begin preparing for a tracheostomy placement.
  D) Administer the first dose of an antibiotic vial liquid suspension as soon as possible to begin fighting the infection.
