Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 320 mg PO every 12 hr to an infant. The amount available is amoxicillin suspension 400 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) In this case: Desired dose = 320 mg Concentration = 400 mg/5 mL = 80 mg/mL Plugging the values into the formula: Volume = 320 mg / 80 mg/mL = 4 mL
