Question 1 of 5
If a suppository becomes soft, which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hold the foil-wrapped suppository under cold water for a short time. This action is correct because cooling the suppository will help it regain its original consistency, making it easier to insert without melting. Option B is incorrect as administering a soft suppository may lead to leakage or incomplete absorption. Option C is incorrect as inserting a soft suppository can be uncomfortable for the patient and may not deliver the medication effectively. Option D is incorrect as returning it to the pharmacy for replacement is not necessary if it can be salvaged by cooling.
