The child is prescribed Acetaminophen 400mg PO q4h for 24 hours for fever. They weigh 60 pounds. Safe dose range: Acetaminophen 10-15 mg/kg/dase PO q4-6h. Available Concentration: 325 mg per 10.15 mLs Based on the child's weight, is this dose safe?

Rationale: Convert weight to kg: 60 lb ÷ 2.2 = 27.27 kg Calculate safe dose range per dose: Minimum = 10 mg/kg × 27.27 kg = 272.7 mg Maximum = 15 mg/kg × 27.27 kg = 409 mg Prescribed dose is 400 mg, which falls within the safe range of 273 mg to 409 mg per dose. The dose is safe based on weight.
