Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Medication should not be placed in essential foods such as orange juice or milk as the child may develop an aversion to the food related to the taste of the medication.
Rationale 2: Being untruthful about any interventions may cause the client to lose trust in the nurse.
Rationale 3: Parents are a very good source of ideas for caring for their child, and their input should be sought when performing tasks such as medication administration.
Rationale 4: Having a second nurse hold the client down to administer the medication is an unnecessary use of force and will frighten the child.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 48 mg
Rationale : The client received gr 2/150 of NTG. There are 60 mg in 1 grain. To convert, use ratio-proportion.
