    Safe range per dose

    For calculation practice, a child weighs 12 kg. The stated reference range is 8–12 mg/kg/dose. The order is 96 mg per dose, and the liquid is available as 60 mg per 5 mL. Is the ordered dose within the stated range? If it is, calculate the volume to prepare.

    Safety decision: □ Within range □ Below range □ Above range
    Decision / volume if safe:
  2. 2.

    Daily range + divided doses

    For calculation practice, a child weighs 25 kg. The stated reference range is 12–24 mg/kg/day in 3 equally divided doses. The order is 100 mg per dose, and the liquid is available as 100 mg per 5 mL. Is the ordered dose within the stated range? If it is, calculate the volume per dose.

    Safety decision: □ Within range □ Below range □ Above range
    Decision / volume if safe:
