Answer to Question 1

C
If a nurse is not competent to perform a particular nursing task, the nurse must immediately communicate this fact to the nursing supervisor or physician. The nurse could endanger the child by delaying the intervention until another nurse is available. Telling the child's parents would most likely increase their anxiety and will not resolve the difficulty. Transfer to another unit delays needed treatment and would create unnecessary disruption for the child and family.

Answer to Question 2

C
Griseofulvin is insoluble in water. Giving the medication with a high-fat meal or milk increases absorption. Carbonated drinks do not contain fat, which aids in the absorption of griseofulvin. Fruit juice does not contain any fat; fat aids absorption of the medication.
