160mg seems reasonable too, but I trust the math on 125mg.

Definitely not 200mg, that's way too high for a kid!

Wait, how does Young's rule even work? Sounds complicated!

I thought it would be more than that, but I guess it makes sense.

I think the answer might be 160mg, but I can't recall if I got that from a practice question or just guessing.

I feel a bit confused about the numbers. Is it just the weight we need to consider, or do we also factor in the age?

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to calculate dosages for kids. I think the formula is age over age plus 12 times the adult dose?

I think Young's rule is based on the child's age and weight, but I'm not entirely sure how to apply it correctly.

I'm feeling a little lost on this one. There are a lot of technical terms and details in these options. I'll need to read through them carefully and try to identify the two that best fit the question.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the tunneling protocols used in each. I'll review my notes quickly to make sure I don't mix those up before answering.
