Before administering each dose of phenytoin in suspension form to a 2-year-old child with seizures, what action should the nurse take?

  1. Shake the container vigorously.

  2. Check the child's temperature.

  3. Measure the child's height.

  4. Test the child's reflexes.

The correct answer is: Shake the container vigorously.

Before administering each dose of phenytoin in suspension form to a 2-year-old child with seizures, the nurse should shake the container vigorously. This is important to ensure that the medication is evenly distributed in the suspension and that the child receives the correct dose with each administration. Checking the child's temperature, measuring the child's height, or testing the child's reflexes are not necessary actions specifically related to administering phenytoin in suspension form in this scenario.
