Your patient is a 7-year-old male pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle. Your assessment reveals bleeding from the right auditory canal. Which of the following describes the most appropriate way to manage this?
A) If a "halo" test determines CSF is in the blood, loosely cover the ear with a sterile dressing to prevent contamination while allowing blood to flow freely from the ear.
B) If the glucose level of the blood from the ear is the same as the patient's blood glucose level, pack the auditory canal with sterile gauze to control bleeding.
C) Determining the presence or absence of cerebrospinal fluid in the blood is a low priority. Loosely cover the ear with a sterile dressing to prevent contamination while allowing blood to flow freely from the ear.
D) Determining the presence or absence of cerebrospinal fluid is a low priority. Pack the auditory canal with sterile gauze to control bleeding.
