An infant is brought to the emergency department by parents who report that the baby’s fontanels seem to be bulging outward. What action by the healthcare provider is most appropriate?
◦ Assess the baby for recent trauma to the head.
◦ Measure the head circumference and plot it on a growth chart.
◦ Prepare the baby for a lumbar puncture and blood cultures.
◦ Determine how much fluid the baby had in the last 24 hours.
