Question 2 of 5

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer medications to a 5-month-old infant. Tympanic temperature 39.2°C (102.6°F). Heart rate 84/min. Respiratory rate 30/min. Blood pressure 80/30 mmHg. Oxygen saturation 96% on 0.5 L oxygen via nasal cannula. Weight 7.2 kg (15.9 lb). The nurse should clarify the prescription for which medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ibuprofen should be clarified before administration to a 5-month-old infant as it is not recommended for infants younger than 6 months due to risks of nephrotoxicity and gastrointestinal irritation. Acetaminophen is safe for infants to reduce fever. Heart rate and temperature are vital signs, not medications, and do not require clarification as prescriptions.
