Correct Answer is ["A","B","C","D"]
Explanation
Step 1 is to convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms: 28 lb ÷ 2.2 lb/kg = 12.727 kg.
Step 2 is to calculate the dose: 10 mg/kg × 12.727 kg = 127.27 mg.
Step 3 is to determine how many mL is needed: 127.27 mg ÷ (120 mg/5 mL) = 5.3029 mL.
Step 4 is to round to the nearest tenth: 5.3 mL. Final answer: 5.3 mL
