What dose of Palivizumab is dosed monthly during the RSV season?

  1. 5 mg/kg/dose IM

  2. 12 mg/kg/dose IM

  3. 20 mg/kg/dose IM

  4. 25 mg/kg/dose IM

The correct answer is: 12 mg/kg/dose IM

Palivizumab is a medication used for RSV prevention during the RSV season. It is given once a month as a single dose by intramuscular injection. The recommended dose is 12 mg/kg. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest significantly higher or lower doses than the recommended 12 mg/kg. This can be potentially harmful or ineffective for patients.
