2, 3, 1, 4... Give acetaminophen (Tylenol) first to decrease discomfort and reduce fever. Obtain the cultures next because management of infections is critical, and since a child on chemotherapy has lowered immune status, unusual agents can be identified. Cultures can help identify the causative agents before treatment is started. Give the antibiotics next, as an infection can seriously impact the child who is receiving chemotherapy. Finally, provide comfort followed by bed rest to allow the child to rest.
