The formulaknown as Cowling’s Rule converts an adult dose into a child’s dose using the child’s age. This would be aliteral equation, which has more than one variable; this one has three to be exact. This discussion also calls for us to incorporate the following words: literal equation, formula, solve, substitute,and conditional equation. The variables that are going to be used are:a = child’s ageD = adult doseD = child’s doseThe formula that is being used would be: d = D(a + 1)/ 24My assignment calls for me to calculate a two year old child’s dose of ibuprofen given that the adult dose is 400 mg.d = D(a + 1)/24 The Cowling’s Rule formula.d = 400(2 + 1)/24 I substituted400 for D and 2 for a.d = 400(3)/24 You always follow the order of operations and add inside the parentheses first.d = 1200/24 When following the order of operations the multiplication comes next.d = 600 Following the order of operations, the division is the last step in solving for the child’s dose.The correct dose of ibuprofen for a two year old child is 600 mg.â€
