    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to reconstitute amoxicillin powder. According to the medication label, the nurse should identify that 5 mL contains how many mg of amoxicillin following reconstitution? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mg

    Explanation & Rationale

    Based on the image, the medication label for amoxicillin for oral suspension states: "Each 5 ml (1 teaspoonful) will contain amoxicillin trihydrate equivalent to 400 mg amoxicillin." Therefore, following reconstitution, 5 mL of the amoxicillin suspension will contain 400 mg of amoxicillin.
