    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 300 mg PO. The amount available is amoxicillin oral solution 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth/whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1 is to calculate the volume of medication to administer. The formula is desired dose ÷ available dose × available volume. So, (300 mg ÷ 250 mg) × 5 mL = 6 mL. So, the correct answer is 6 mL.
