    Calculation

    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

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Identify the ordered dose and available concentration Ordered Dose: 775 mg Available Concentration: 400 mg/5 mL Calculate the volume to administer Volume to administer = (Ordered Dose ÷ Concentration) × Volume of Concentration Volume to administer = (775 ÷ 400) × 5 Volume to administer = 1.9375 × 5 Volume to administer ≈ 9.6875 mL Round to the nearest whole number = 10 mL
