A nurse is working in a newborn special care unit that has numerous premature infants. She recently transferred to this unit from an adult intensive care unit where she worked for the past 4 years.
 
  One of the patients is a 2-week-old neonate who was born at 32 weeks' gestational age and who is to be given an antibiotic. The nurse is very cautious in administering the medication because she knows that children are three times more likely than adults to experience a medication error. Why are premature newborns especially vulnerable? A. They receive more medications than other infants.
  B. Their medications are more concentrated.
  C. Drug interactions are more frequent with this population.
  D. Their livers and kidneys have not matured.
