    Calculation

    The healthcare provider has ordered 250 mg of amoxicllin to be administered twice per day. After reconstituting with 78 mL of sterile water, the concentration of the medication is 125 mg/5 mL. How many mL will you administer per day? Do not provide the unit of measurement. Only provide the number.

    mls

    Explanation & Rationale

    Provided concentration: 125mg/5ml So each ml has 125/5=25mg Desired dose= 250mg twice a day Desired dose per day= 250 x 2= 500mg If 25mg=1ml 500mg= 500 x1/25= 20mls
