    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. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    To determine the volume for administration, the nurse applies the standard dosage calculation formula by dividing the prescribed dose by the concentration on hand and multiplying by the volume. 350 mg / 250 mg × 5 mL = 7 mL Answer: 7 mL.
