Answer 2

Answer:

The dose for the infant is 13.03 mg.

Explanation:

Age of infant $=8 months =\frac{8}{12}=0.66 year$

The average adult dose of the drug $=250\,mg$

Young's rule is an equation used to calculate the pediatric drug dose based on the age of the patient and the known recommended dose for adults. The definition of Young's rule is the patient's age, divided by age plus twelve,  multiplied by the recommended adult dose. This formula appears below:

$\frac{\text { Age }}{\text { Age }+12} \times \text { Adult dose }=\text { Dose for child }$

Calculate the dose for the infant:

$=\frac{\text { 0.66 }}{\text { 0.66 }+12} \times \text { 250 }\\=\frac{0.66}{12.66} \times250\\=13.03\,mg$

Therefore, the dose for the infant is 13.03 mg.
