The calculation of MRD (maximum recommended dose) should not be based solely on standard tables and Clark's Rule for overweight children. Instead, the clinician should consider the child's current weight, medical history, and any other medications the child may be taking in order to calculate a safe and effective dose. Therefore, option D is not an important consideration when providing local anesthesia for an overweight child.
