Seven-year-old Dani has been prescribed an analgesic in pill form. Her father asks whether the pill can be crushed and mixed in a chocolate milk shake for a more pleasant experience. You know that it is safe to crush the pill (it is neither enteric-coated nor sustained release). Is it safe to give Dani the crushed pill in her milk shake?
 A) Possibly, but you would have to know whether it can be safely administered with dairy before deciding.
  B) No, because if Dani cannot swallow a pill, she cannot safely swallow a milk shake.
  C) Yes, because the only concern is whether it is safe to crush the pills.
  D) No, because medication should not be mixed with children's food.
