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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Shake the container vigorously. The rationale is that phenytoin in suspension form tends to settle at the bottom, so shaking the container ensures the medication is evenly distributed for accurate dosing.
Choice A is incorrect because food intake does not affect the administration of phenytoin.
Choice B is irrelevant as blood pressure monitoring is not necessary before administering phenytoin.
Choice D is not necessary before phenytoin administration.
