Question 1
In the context of the Young's rule for pediatric dosing, if the adult dose is $D_{A}$, the child's age is $n$, the dose for the child $D_{C}$ is calculated as:
  • $D_{C} = D_{A} \times \frac{n}{n+12}$✔️
  • $D_{C} = D_{A} \times \frac{n}{20}$
  • $D_{C} = D_{A} \times \frac{weight}{70}$
  • $D_{C} = D_{A} \times \frac{n}{150}$
Correct Answer Explanation
Young's rule is defined as: Child's dose = [Age / (Age + 12)] x Adult dose.
