Answer to Question 2

Feedback
1. Children have varying degrees of height and weight at any age, thus the dose should not be based on age.
2. The weight of the child gives an indication as to the amount needed to effectively medicate the child.
3. Attempts to control pain should be done with as low a dose as possible. The pain does not give a clear indication as to the amount of medication to give.
4. The length of time varies from each child because of metabolism rates and response to pain. Dosing should not be determined by this method.
