Vital signs: temperature 39.2°C (102.6°F), heart rate 112/min, blood pressure 104/62 mm Hg; assessment shows suprapubic tenderness. Labs: white blood cell count 18.4 × $10^3$/µL (4.5–11.0), lactate 3.1 mmol/L (0.5–2.0); urinalysis is positive for nitrites and leukocyte esterase. What is the PRIORITY action based on these results?
