Crimper

Rationale: A crimper is used to seal vials and other types of containers with caps. Brushes, tongs, and beakers have no ability to seal containers in any way.

62.5 mg

Rationale: The 48-month-old child should receive 62.5 mg. To solve this, use Young's rule. Remember that 48 months = 4 years. The pediatric dose equals the child's age in years / the child's age in years + 12, multiplied by the adult dose. Therefore, 4 / 4 + 12 = 4/16, reduced to , multiplied by 250 mg = 62.5 mg.
