Question 2 of 5
The mother calls the clinic and tells the practical nurse (PN) that her child cannot swallow a prescribed tablet that was dispensed by the local pharmacy as a whole tablet. How should the PN respond?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When a child is unable to swallow a tablet, the appropriate response is to consider if a liquid form of the medication is available.

Contacting the pharmacist for a prescription change can provide a suitable solution that ensures the child receives the medication in a more manageable form.
