A patient who is to receive a daily medication by the oral route has had nausea and vomiting for the last 24 hours. The best action to ensure that the patient receives the scheduled dose is to:

Withhold the dose for 1 hour and see whether the nausea subsides.

Have the patient take the pill with sips of water.

Have the patient take the pill with crackers.

Acquire an order to administer by the rectal or parenteral route.
