A nurse is teaching a guardian of an infant about the administration of oral medications. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)

Use a universal dropper for medication administration.

Add the medication to a formula bottle before feeding.

Ask the pharmacy to add flavoring to the medication.

Use the nipple of a bottle to administer the medication.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,C,D

Choice A reason: A universal dropper ensures accurate dosing, which is crucial for infants due to their small size and the precise dosing required for their medications.

Choice B reason: Adding medication to a formula bottle is not recommended because if the infant does not finish the bottle, they will not receive the full medication dose.

Choice C reason: Flavoring can help mask the taste of medications, making it easier for infants to take them, which is especially useful if the medication has an unpleasant taste.

Choice D reason: Using the nipple of a bottle can be an effective way to administer medication to an infant who is used to bottle-feeding, as it can make the process more familiar and comfortable.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A reason: Oral rehydration therapy is the first-line treatment for dehydration due to diarrhea, as it effectively restores fluid and electrolyte balance.

Choice B reason: While chicken broth may provide some salt, it lacks the necessary electrolytes and glucose needed for effective rehydration.

Choice C reason: A hypertonic IV solution is not typically used for dehydration due to diarrhea, as it can exacerbate fluid shifts and dehydration.

Choice D reason: Keeping a child NPO is not recommended as it can lead to further dehydration and delay recovery.

A. Clubbing of the fingers B. Weak femoral pulses C. Cool skin of lower extremities D. Low blood pressure E. Severe cyanosis

Correct Answer is ["B","C"]

Explanation

Choice A reason: Clubbing of the fingers is not typically associated with coarctation of the aorta; it is more commonly seen in chronic hypoxia conditions.

Choice B reason: Weak femoral pulses are expected in coarctation of the aorta due to the narrowing of the aorta, which can reduce blood flow to the lower extremities.

Choice C reason: Cool skin of the lower extremities can be a result of decreased blood flow due to the narrowed aorta in coarctation.

Choice D reason: High blood pressure is more commonly associated with coarctation of the aorta, especially in the upper body, due to the narrowing of the aorta increasing resistance to blood flow⁷.

Choice E reason: Severe cyanosis can occur in coarctation of the aorta if there is a significant obstruction to blood flow, leading to poor oxygenation.
