Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse will administer a pre-op medication to relax the infant. The identification band is used to identify the child and should be secure. The child should be transported safely, usually by stretcher. Activity should be kept to a minimum to allow the infant to benefit fully from the preoperative medication.
