A nurse is attempting to administer an oral medication to a child, but the child refuses to take the medication. A parent is in the room. Which statement by the nurse to the parent is best?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Children often have difficulties taking medication, but it can be less traumatic for the child if the parent administers the medication and the nurse supervises. Another nurse should help restrain a child if needed; the parent acts as a comforter, not a restrainer. Holding down the child is not the best option because it may further upset the child. Never administer an oral medication to a sleeping child. Don't mix medications into the child's favorite foods because the child might start to refuse the food.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Establishing rapport helps de-escalate distress and gather information to provide appropriate support, aligning with nursing communication principles.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Unlabeled medications pose a safety risk. Per CCL regulations, medications must be in properly labeled pharmacy containers to ensure identity, dosage, and safety.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: CCL guidelines allow medications to transfer with the resident or responsible party to maintain continuity of care, if properly documented.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Caregivers must verify consumption to ensure compliance and safety, per medication assistance protocols.
