ANS: C
Medications should not be mixed with a large amount of food or beverage because patients may miss the full dose if they do not consume the entire amount. If the entire bottle is not consumed, the nurse will have difficulty determining how much dose was received. If medications interact with formula in vivo, package information will indicate this.
