A nurse is preparing to administer medication to an infant. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?

A. Mix the medication in a bottle of formula is incorrect. Mixing medication in a bottle of formula may cause the infant to not receive the full dose of the medication if they do not finish the bottle. It also creates the risk of the infant associating the medication with the feeding, which could lead to future feeding issues. B. Mix the medication with a small amount of honey is incorrect. Honey should not be given to infants under 1 year of age due to the risk of botulism. Additionally, mixing medication with any substance should be avoided unless directed by the provider. C. Place the medication in the back of the infant's throat using a dropper is incorrect. Administering medication in the back of the throat with a dropper can be dangerous and may lead to choking. The medication should be given in a controlled manner. D. Place the medication in an oral syringe is correct. An oral syringe is the safest method for administering medication to an infant. It allows the nurse to measure the dose accurately and administer the medication slowly to ensure it is swallowed safely.
