A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 350 mg PO. Amoxicillin 250 mg/5 mL is available. How many mL should the nurse administer? mL

Step 1 is to identify the ordered dose and the available concentration Ordered Dose: 350 mg Available Concentration: 250 mg / 5 mL Step 2 is to calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL) (Ordered Dose ÷ Available Dose) × Available Volume = Result (350 ÷ 250) × 5 = Result 350 ÷ 250 = 1.4 1.4 × 5 = 7 Volume to administer = 7 mL Step 3 is to round to the nearest tenth 7 mL = 7.0 mL
