Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Administering the drug through a straw will diminish an unpleasant taste. Having the child hold the nose is helpful, as bad taste is associated with the smell of the drug. Pouring the drug over ice may result in the child not getting the entire amount of the drug. Squirting the drug into the mouth with a syringe will still allow the child to taste the medication. The parent's assistance should be enlisted, but will not minimize the taste of the drug.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Frequent linen and clothing changes will be necessary because of the heavy humidity in the tent. The nurse can open the tent to soothe the restless child instead of removing the child. The tent does not have to be opened every hour. Toys can be placed inside the tent.
