The toddler refuses to take his oral medication. What is the best suggestion to the mother from the nurse for ensuring the toddler receives his medication?
- A. Tell him you will buy him a toy if he takes the medication
- B. Crush the tablet and mix it with a small amount of jam
- C. Crush the tablet and mix it with milk
- D. Tell him he will be punished if he does not take the medicine
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Toddlers (1-3) resist meds-crushing a tablet (if safe) and mixing with jam masks taste, easing intake, per developmental needs. Bribery with toys may not work long-term. Milk risks interactions (e.g., tetracycline) or dilution. Punishment distresses, not helps. Jam leverages taste preference, ensuring delivery.
