Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a 2-year-old child who has seizures and is receiving phenytoin in suspension form. Which of the following actions should the nurse take before administering each dose?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Shake the container vigorously. Phenytoin in suspension form tends to settle, so shaking it before administration ensures even distribution of the medication. This helps prevent under or overdosing. Performing mouth care (
B), checking blood pressure (
C), and ensuring the child has not eaten within the hour (
D) are not directly related to administering phenytoin suspension. Shaking the container is crucial for accurate dosing, making it the most appropriate action before each dose.
