ANS: B
Children who weigh less than 50 kg should use 1 spray in one nostril for a dose of 150 mcg. Each spray delivers 150 mcg, so 1 spray in both nostrils would give a dose of 300 mcg. Using 2 sprays in one nostril would give a dose of 300 mcg; using 2 sprays in both nostrils would give a dose of 600 mcg.
