The pediatric oral dose of ciprofloxacin is given as 10 to 20 mg/kg every 8 hours, not to exceed a single dose of 400 mg irrespe
Gwar [14]

Answer:

No. 5% of ciprofloxacin oral suspension for this child exceeds the therapeutic range.

Explanation:

Single dose of ciprofloxacin suspension shall be 400 mg

the pediatric oral dose is 10-20 mg/kg and body weight of child is 55 lb.

1 kg is 2.2 lb= 55÷ 2.2 = 25 kg

minimum required dose for child is 25 × 10= 250 mg

maximum required dose for child is 25 × 20 = 500 mg

1 teaspoonful is 5000 mg.

500 mg ÷ 5000 mg = 0.1 tsp

Hence, the dose exceeds the therapeutic range.

In small children or infants, a foreign body obstruction of the airway should be suspected if there is a sudden onset of:_____.
mario62 [17]

In small children or infants, a foreign body obstruction of the airway should be suspected if there is a sudden onset of <u>respiratory distress</u>

Signs of FBAO include a sudden onset of respiratory distress with coughing, gagging, stridor, or wheezing.

<h3>What is Foreign body airway obstruction(FBAO)?</h3>

Foreign object airway obstruction: Partial or complete obstruction of the airway to the lungs by a foreign object (food, beads, toys, etc.). Shortness of breath episodes can occur suddenly with a  cough. Restlessness is common in the early stages of airway obstruction. Symptoms of shortness of breath include difficult and ineffective breathing (apnea) until the patient stops breathing. Loss of consciousness occurs if the obstruction is not removed.

Severe or complete foreign-body airway obstruction can kill the victim in minutes if he doesn't get appropriate treatment. The primary technique to clear an obstruction in a conscious adult is administration of abdominal thrusts—the Heimlich maneuver.
