1.Why is there a 6hr gap at the beginning of the aspirin (salicylate) nomogram?

Is this so we can get an accurate understanding of aspirins effect?

also;

2.Given the data in the nomogram, what would you suggest to be a reasonable therapeutic index for children, and above what level would you suggest would induce toxicity?

I have no idea!

Any help would be nice please, thanks :D
