Question 1 of 5
A nurse observes a parent administer a prescribed oral medication to an infant. Which of the following statements indicates a need for further instruction?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because positioning the infant in a supine position while administering medication can increase the risk of choking or aspiration. The ideal position for administering oral medication to an infant is in an upright or semi-upright position to prevent these risks. Administering medication with an oral syringe (
A), inserting medication in the buccal cavity (
B), and allowing the infant to swallow some medication before administering more (
C) are all appropriate techniques for administering oral medication to infants. By positioning the infant in a supine position, the parent is not following the safe practice for administering oral medication to infants, hence indicating a need for further instruction.
