ANS: D
Medications containing aspirin products (salicylates) should not be given to children with viral illnesses due to the correlation with Reye syndrome. If a parent is asking about an over-the-counter medication, the nurse should advise the parent to ensure it does not contain this compound. The other responses are not appropriate.
