Feedback:
Catheter-tip syringes are usually used for administering liquids to infants. The nurse should use the smallest syringe possible to ensure accuracy. The child should not be given a choice whether or not to take medication and should not be lied to about the injection not hurting. Children should not be surprised with an injection or injected in their sleep.
