    Of the following give choices;

    Provide analgesia.

    Give the Hib vaccine.

    Practice airborne precautions.

    Provide IV antibiotics.

    The answer is Provide IV antibiotics. Bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency since it could lead to death within hours or few days if not managed/treated. When IV antibiotics are given, in high doses (so they are able to pass the blood-brain barrier), the chances of deaths of the patient are reduced to 5% in all cases of bacterial meningitis.
