    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 350 mg PO. Available is amoxicillin 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round to the nearest whole number.) Enter your answer _____ mL

    mL.

    Explanation & Rationale

    The required dose is 350 mg, and the available concentration provides 250 mg per 5 mL of volume. Using the standard formula, the calculation is (350 mg / 250 mg) × 5 mL = 1.4 × 5 mL = 7 mL. Rounding to the nearest whole number yields 7 mL.
