Answer:

The best answer choice for the question: The number of milligrams of aspirin that should be administered is:___, would be, A: 19 mg.

Explanation:

First, it must always be remembered that dosages of any type of medication will be vastly different when administered to children, than when administered in adults. In children, the body mass of the child, as well as the miligrams of a medication, and the number of times it must be given, have to be computed so that the exact mgs are administered. If too few is given, then in this case the baby´s fever will not break. If too much, severe repercussions can follow, due to overdose. In essence, the first step here is that the body of the child in pounds must be transfomed to its equivalent in kgms. Second, the body weight of the child will be multiplied by the total dose ordered. Since the kilograms of this child are 3.86, this multiplied by 5.0 will give us a total of 19 mgs. So, the infant must receive 19 mg of aspirin a day to break the fever.

Two other teachers in my daycare center and I have the children play outdoors at the same time. The playground is VERY crowded,
valina [46]
The first thing I would do is try organize a game possibly. A game where each round kids who win said game, get to play with toys on one side of the area, while the other kids get to sing songs, tell jokes, etc. (if they are allowed to do this)

Maybe you could create a song.
This song would remind kids to not touch each other and to not take things out of others hands.

I am unsure of the age group so my answers may not be great depending on the age, but I’m assuming they are toddlers.

Another solution is buying more toys? Although that could get pricey depending on how many kids there are. Maybe you could also have “shifts” where one group of kids goes outside and another goes in. When the group that was outside comes in, you switch. (If that makes sense.)
The kids inside could read, or sing, etc.
