As you have learned, adjusting medication dosages for patients with renal impairment is a crucial aspect of pharmacy practice. This ensures safety and effectiveness, as reduced kidney function can affect how drugs are processed in the body. You previously explored how to represent patient and medication data using Python dictionaries and lists, and how to perform calculations such as multiplying a standard dose by a renal adjustment factor.

When handling multiple patients, you often need to iterate through a list of patient data, apply calculations to each entry, and summarize or report key findings. This challenge will reinforce your ability to process lists of dictionaries, perform calculations for each item, and identify important results, such as the patient with the lowest adjusted dose.
