As the nurse caring for an infant who has been prescribed Amoxicillin (Amoxil) orally every 6 hours, you need to calculate the dose. The recommended safe dosage is 50 mg/kg/day, divided into multiple doses. If the infant weighs 6 kg, how much Amoxicillin should you administer per dose?

Calculate the total daily dose: 50 mg/kg/day * 6 kg = 300 mg/day. Calculate the dose per administration: Since the medication is given every 6 hours, it's given 4 times a day (24 hours / 6 hours = 4 doses). So, divide the total daily dose by 4: 300 mg/day / 4 doses/day = 75 mg/dose. Therefore, you should administer 75 mg of Amoxicillin per dose.
