Building on your previous experience with function-based dosage calculations and handling patient data, you are now ready to tackle a more complex scenario: calculating medication dosages for multiple patients at once. In real pharmacy practice, you often need to process a list of patients, each with individual characteristics such as **name**, **weight**, and **prescribed dose per kilogram**. Efficiently iterating through this data and producing accurate results is essential for **patient safety** and effective workflow management.
