Answer to Question 1

154.5-231.8
The dose range for acetaminophen is 10-15 mg/kg. This child weighs 15.45 kg, so multiplying by the correct dose gives a range of 154.5-231.8 mg.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C
For an infant, parents should be taught not to attach a pacifier to the infant or infant's clothing. Walkers are not recommended, but were used on infants in the past. Preschoolers can learn fire safety, including stop, drop, and roll. Keeping toilet lids down and bathtubs empty is appropriate for toddlers. School-age children should ride in the back seat of a car.
