A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 775 mg PO. Available is amoxicillin oral suspension 400 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: 775 mg Available: 400 mg / 5 mL Step 2 is to calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL) (Ordered dose ÷ Available dose) × Available volume = Result (775 ÷ 400) × 5 = Result 775 ÷ 400 = 1.9375 1.9375 × 5 = 9.6875 Step 3 is to round to the nearest whole number 9.6875 ≈ 10 Answer: 10
