B. Advising the child not to touch their face is important to prevent secondary infections and spread of the rash.

Correct Answer is ["300"]

Explanation

To calculate the dose of ceftriaxone for the child, first convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms, knowing that 1 kilogram equals 2.2 pounds. The child weighs 33 pounds, which is approximately 15 kilograms when divided by 2.2. The prescribed dose is 60 mg/kg/day, so for a 15 kg child, this would be 900 mg per day. Since the medication is to be administered in three divided doses, you would divide 900 mg by 3, resulting in 300 mg per dose.

A. poor skin turgor B. shortness of breath C. Redness at the tube insertion site D. Fever
