    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 375mg PO every 12 hours to an infant. The medication available is amoxicillin suspension 500mg/10mL. How many milliliters will be administered? (Round to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Desired dose = 375 mg Available concentration = 500 mg per 10 mL = 50 mg/mL Volume needed = Desired dose ÷ Concentration = 375 mg ÷ 50 mg/mL = 7.5 mL Final Answer: 7.5 mL
