Ans: B
The nurse should convert the child's weight in pounds to kilograms by dividing the child's weight in pounds by 2.2. (35 pounds divided by 2.2 = 16 kg). The nurse would then multiply the child's weight in kilograms by 1 mg for the low end (16 kg  1 mg = 16 mg) and then by 2 mg for the high end (16 kg  2 mg = 32 mg).
