A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 750 mg PO. Available is amoxicillin liquid suspension 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.) ________ mL

Step 1 is to identify the ordered dose and available concentration Ordered dose: 750 mg Available: 250 mg / 5 mL Step 2 is to calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL) (Ordered dose ÷ Available dose) × Available volume = Result (750 ÷ 250) × 5 = Result 750 ÷ 250 = 3 3 × 5 = 15 Step 3 is to round to the nearest whole number 15 = 15 Answer: 15
