A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of a 1-year-old infant about administering a liquid oral medication.Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

Choice A rationaleAdding medication to a child's formula is not recommended as the child may refuse the entire feeding, making it difficult to ensure the full dose is taken.Choice B rationalePlacing small bits of ice on a child's tongue is not an effective or safe method for administering medication. Ice can be a choking hazard and may not aid in the process.Choice C rationalePositioning a child on their back during medication administration increases the risk of aspiration. It's safer to keep them slightly upright.Choice D rationalePlacing the medication along the inside of the child's cheek (buccal administration) ensures the medication is swallowed slowly and safely, reducing the risk of choking and aspiration.
