CHILD'S DOSE = age of child (yrs) adult dose
32.
a
(para 1-23c)
age + 12
= 7 500 mg =
3500 mg
7 + 12

= 184 mg, approximately

c
(para 1-24)
45-lb
= 20.5 kg
2.2-lb/kg
CHILD'S DOSE = 20.5 kg 10 mg/kg = 205 mg
34.
b
(para 1-25; fig 1-1) Note on the enclosed column of the nomogram that a
point for 45 on the left scale would correspond to a point for 0.81 on the right.
Thus, a 45-lb child of normal height has a surface area of about 0.81 m.
CHILD'S DOSE = 0.81 m 300 mg/m = 243 mg
35.
d
(para 1-25; fig 1-1) Note on the enclosed column of the nomogram that a
point for 45 on the left scale would correspond to a point for 0.81 on the right
scale. Thus, a 45-lb child of normal height has a surface area of about
0.81 m.
CHILD'S DOSE = surface area (m) adult dose
