Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing to give a medication to a child. The child's parent asks whether the drug is safe for children. How will the nurse respond to the parent?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because drugs intended for pediatric use are required to undergo testing for both efficacy and safety specifically in children before being marketed. This ensures that the drug is safe and effective for children. Answer A is incorrect because safe doses for children are determined through pediatric studies, not just by scaling adult doses based on weight. Answer B is incorrect because repeated use over time is not a sufficient criteria for determining safety in children. Answer D is incorrect because drugs are required to be tested for safety in children before being being marketed for pediatric use, not just in post-marketing studies.
