timely administration of medication is important, the specific time interval within which a PRN medication should be given may vary depending on the medication and the healthcare provider's orders. This statement does not necessarily reflect the rules of pediatric medication

administration.

D. "This is a protective reflex known as the Moro reflex.": The Moro reflex, also known as the startle reflex, involves the newborn's arms and legs extending and then flexing in response to a sudden movement or loud noise. It is not related to grasping objects with the hands.
