a. Rule-based nomogram

Explanation: Rule-based nomograms (for example, the Hartford nomogram for aminoglycosides and various validated vancomycin nomograms) have been prospectively validated and are widely used in pharmacy practice. Bayesian tools are increasingly recommended (especially for AUC-guided vancomycin dosing) but are less universally implemented.
