Answer to Question 1

ANS: C

Feedback
A Incorrect: This is an appropriate response by the mother.
B Incorrect: This is an appropriate response by the mother.
C Correct: Medication should not be placed in infant formula, because the child may not consume all of the formula and the medication will change the taste of the primary food, resulting in the risk that the infant may refuse to drink formula.
D Incorrect: This is an appropriate response by the mother.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A

Feedback
A Correct: IV bolus is the method of choice for administering parenteral analgesia, because it provides rapid response by administering it into the port closest to the child.
B Incorrect: The IM route can be painful and has a slower response than IV bolus.
C Incorrect: This IV method provides a slower response, because the medication flows away from the child.
D Incorrect: This IV method provides a slower response than IV bolus, because the medication must travel from the pump to the child.
