The healthcare provider prescribes amoxicillin 1.5 grams PO daily, in equally divided doses to be administered every 8 hours. The medication is available in a bottle labeled, "Amoxicillin suspension 200 mg/5 mL." How many mL should the nurse administer every 8 hours? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

Calculation Steps: Step 1: Convert grams to milligrams: 1.5 grams × 1000 mg/gram = 1500 mg. Result = 1500 mg. Step 2: Calculate the dose per administration: 1500 mg/day ÷ 3 doses/day = 500 mg/dose. Result = 500 mg/dose. Step 3: Determine the volume for each dose: 200 mg/5 mL = 40 mg/mL, 500 mg ÷ 40 mg/mL = 12.5 mL. Result = 12.5 mL.
