Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Before administering any medication, the student must be assessed to determine level and location of pain, presence of other signs or symptoms, history of medical problems, and allergies. Once this information is collected, the nurse can administer the medication only with a physician's order, which may be in the form of a standing order.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Using a rattle, singing a song, and providing a toy are distractions appropriate for an infant.
