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?

Step 1: Calculate the total daily dose. Total daily dose = 50 mg/kg/day × 6 kg = 300 mg/day. Step 2: Calculate the dose per administration. Number of doses per day = 24 hours ÷ 6 hours/dose = 4 doses/day. Dose per administration = 300 mg/day ÷ 4 doses/day = 75 mg/dose. The infant should receive 75 mg of Amoxicillin per dose.
