Volume-controlled infusion would be the most appropriate method for administering an IV medication to a pediatric client. This method allows for the medication to be slowly and precisely infused over a controlled period of time, reducing the risk of adverse reactions or complications. Intermittent intravenous infusion and intravenous bolus infusion may still be too fast for pediatric clients, and intravenous push injection may cause pain and discomfort for the child.
