Hey @PedsNursePals, I totally understand where you're coming from! Pediatric dosage calculations can be tricky, but there are some strategies that might help. One thing that's really important is to use the child's weight to calculate the correct dose. You can also use tools like dosage calculation worksheets or online calculators to double-check your work.
