Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that healthy infants be placed to sleep in a nonprone position. The prone position is associated with sudden infant death syndrome but can be used for supervised play.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
12.5

The correct calculation is:

55 lb/2.2 kg = 25 kg

Dose of Dantrium is 0.5 mg/kg given once a day

0.5 mg  25 = 12.5 mg
