no
yes

Explanation:

Step1: Convert weight from pounds to kilograms

Since \(1\ lb = 0.4536\ kg\), for a child weighing \(24\ lb\), the weight in kilograms is \(24\times0.4536 = 10.8864\ kg\)

Step2: Calculate the safe dose range

The recommended dose is \(1 - 2\ mg/kg/dose\).
For the lower limit: \(1\times10.8864=10.8864\ mg\)
For the upper limit: \(2\times10.8864 = 21.7728\ mg\)

Answer:

Yes
