Answer to Question 1

ANS:
2

Follow the formula for dosage calculation.

Desired
-----------  Quantity = Tablets per dose
Available

20 mg
-----------  1 = 2 tabs
10 mg

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Nasal flaring is an indication of respiratory distress. A nasal occlusion should prevent the child from breathing through the nose. Because newborns are obligatory nose breathers, this should require immediate referral. Snuffles are indicated by a thick, bloody nasal discharge without sneezing. Sneezing and thin, white mucus drainage are common in newborns and are not related to nasal flaring.
