Answer: Administering intravenous antibiotics

Explanation:

Meningitis can be defined as an inflammation in the protective covering of the brain and spinal cord.

This is caused due to bacterial or viral infection in the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

In this case the patient is admitted in the hospital here,the child is admitted in the pediatric department and the nurse will give antibiotics to the child intravenously.

This will reduce the inflammation caused due to bacterial infection and will reduce the swelling in the brain.
