Question 1 of 5
What dose in milligrams is safest for this child?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A (500 mg) because it falls within the safe dosage range for the child's age and weight. Dosage calculations are based on the child's weight and age to prevent under or overdosing.
Choice B (750 mg) exceeds the safe range and may lead to adverse effects.
Choice C (250 mg) may be inadequate for the child's condition.
Choice D (1000 mg) is above the safe limit and poses a risk of toxicity. It's crucial to consider the child's specific factors when determining the safest dosage.
