8-16 mg F/Kg body weight - This range represents the estimated maximum safe acute dose of fluoride for adults without significant risk of toxicity
The other options exceed safe thresholds: 16-32 mg/kg may cause mild toxicity, 30-64 mg/kg approaches lethal levels (LD50 ~32-64 mg/kg in acute exposure),

Physiology
The absolute refractory period occurs during the initial phase of repolarization after an action potential. During this period, the membrane is inactivated and cannot be depolarized to generate another action potential, regardless of the stimulus strength. This ensures that action potentials are unidirectional and do not propagate backward along the axon.

The PTT (Partial Thromboplastin Time) is prolonged in deficiencies of factors VIII, IX, and XII, which are part of the intrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade. Since factor VIII deficiency is more common and is associated with a bleeding diathesis, it is the most likely deficiency in this scenario.
