Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Penicillin requires healthcare provider evaluation and prescription to the client. The other medications are over-the-counter and may be part of standard protocols.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Nurses should administer only those medications that are in a pharmacy-dispensed bottle with the child's name and dosage instructions intact. No other options are acceptable.
