Question 19 :
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 500 mg PO to a client. Available is amoxicillin oral suspension 250 mg/5 ml. How many mi should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: ["10ml"]
To calculate the volume (mL) that the nurse should administer, you can use the following formula:
Volume (mL) = Dose (mg)/Concentration (mg/mL)
In this case:
Volume = 500 mg/(250 mg/5 mL)
First, simplify the fraction:
Volume = 500mg/50 mg/mL
Now, determine the volume:
Volume =(500 mg/50 mg/mL)×(1 mL/1mg)
Volume=10mL
Therefore, the nurse should administer 10 mL of amoxicillin oral suspension for the 500 mg PO dose, rounded to the nearest whole number.
