    Calculation

    A pediatric patient weighing 35 kg is prescribed amoxicillin at a dosage of 20 mg/kg/day divided into two doses. What is the correct dosage in mg for each dose?

    mg

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1 is 35 kg × 20 mg/kg/day = 700 mg/day. Step 2 is 700 mg/day ÷ 2 doses = 350 mg. The correct dosage is 350 mg per dose.
