Answer to Question 1

D
A, B, C, and D. The head tilted back and turned toward the side to be treated. This allows medication to drain into the affected maxillary sinus.

Answer to Question 2

20 mg
Convert pounds to kilograms.
44 pounds  1 kg/2.2 lb = 20 kg

Solve the equation for how many mg/d.
20 kg  3 mg/kg = 60 mg/d

Solve the equation for how many mg/dose.
60 mg divided by 3 equal doses = 20 mg/dose
