Question 3 :
The healthcare provider prescribes amoxicillin-clavulanic acid suspension 300 mg by mouth (PO) three times daily (TID) for a child with a lower respiratory infection. The bottle is labelled, 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer in a single dose? (Enter numeric value only.)
Correct Answer: ["6mL"]
Given: Prescribed dose = 300 mg Concentration = 250 mg/5 mL
Let's plug in the values:
Amount (mL) = 300 mg / (250 mg/5 mL)
First, calculate the concentration in mg per mL: 250 mg / 5 mL = 50 mg/mL
Now substitute this value into the formula:
Amount (mL) = 300 mg / 50 mg/mL
Amount (mL) = 6 mL
