Correct Answer: 2,3,5
Rationale 1: The medication should be given after feeding.
Rationale 2: The medication will be more effective if milk sugars and proteins in the mouth are rinsed away prior to administration.
Rationale 3: The infant cannot swish and swallow so a syringe is used to distribute the medication around the mouth.
Rationale 4: There is no prohibition against breastfeeding.
Rationale 5: This treatment may be necessary to prevent re-transmission.
