Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 4-year-old child who is resistant to taking medication. Which of the following strategies should the nurse use to elicit the child's cooperation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Offering the child a choice of taking the medication with juice or water empowers the child by giving them a sense of control and autonomy, increasing cooperation. Deceiving the child by saying it's candy or hiding it in ice cream can undermine trust, and threatening with a shot may induce fear.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has asthma and a new prescription for albuterol and cromolyn metered-dose inhalers. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Taking albuterol before cromolyn is the correct sequence because albuterol is a bronchodilator that helps open the airways quickly, while cromolyn is a mast cell stabilizer that helps prevent asthma symptoms. Taking albuterol first allows for better penetration of cromolyn into the airways.
