Solution

The recommended agent for a 5-year-old child suffering from nausea and vomiting related to motion sickness would be Dimenhydrinate.

Here's why:

a. Meclizine: It is not recommended for children under 12 years of age.

b. All are possible choices for 5-year-old children: This is incorrect as Meclizine and Cyclizine are not recommended for children under 12 years.

c. Bismuth subsalicylate: It is not recommended for children due to the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious illness.

d. Cyclizine: It is not recommended for children under 12 years of age.

e. Dimenhydrinate: This is the correct choice. It is safe for children over 2 years of age and is commonly used to treat motion sickness symptoms in children.

Please note that any medication should be given under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
