Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. The nurse would not mix the crushed tablet in honey for a 10-month old child due to the risk of botulism.
B Incorrect. The nurse would not mix the medication into the formula, as this is an essential food and its taste may not cover the bitterness of the crushed tablet.
C Incorrect. The nurse would not mix the medication into whole milk, as this is an essential food and its taste may not cover the bitterness of the crushed tablet.
D Correct. Crushed tablets or capsule contents generally have a bitter taste. To make the medication more palatable it can be missed with a pleasant tasting liquid or non-essential food before administering. Common vehicles include flavored syrups provided by the pharmacy, jelly, honey (not for the infant since there is risk of botulism), pudding, ice cream or applesauce.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. The nurse as leader or manager includes the role of caring for one or more patients as well as managing staff members.
B Incorrect. The nurse as researcher involves the identification of questions needing answers, pointing the way to areas requiring research and further investigation, and providing evidence-based practice.
C Correct. The second primary role of the nurse after caregiver is the role of advocate, from the Latin root for lawyer. When the nurse informs a family of their rights and options as well as consequences, she is fulfilling the role of advocate.
D Incorrect. The nurse as educator enables the child and family to make informed decisions about options and outcomes.
