Answer:

87 mg

Explanation:

To find the dose of acetaminophen for a 3-year-old child with the body surface area of 0.30 m², we use the formula given below

Child dose = child surface area/1.73 × adult dose

Given that the child surface area = 0.30 m² and the adult dose = 500 mg,

Child dose = child surface area/1.73 × adult dose

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

Child dose = child surface area/1.73 × adult dose

Child dose =  0.30 m²/1.73 × 500 mg

Child dose = 0.1734 × 500 mg

Child dose = 86.71 mg

Child dose = 87 mg to the nearest whole number
