A client is prescribed liquid medication for their 3-year-old child. The child is refusing to take it. What should the nurse advise the client to do?


Correct Answer: A

A. Correct. Mixing the medication with a preferred juice can help mask the taste and make it more palatable for the child.

B. Incorrect. While disguising the medication in food may be effective, it may not be suitable for all types of medications, and the nurse should consider the specific medication's administration requirements.

C. Incorrect. Holding the child's nose is not a recommended method for medication administration and may cause distress.

D. Incorrect. Administering medication intravenously is an invasive method and would only be appropriate if indicated for the specific medication and condition, not for general administration difficulties.
