Question 4 of 5

The nurse is caring for an infant who has a prescription for amoxicillin 25 mg/kg/day in 2 divided doses. The client weighs 16.5 lb (7.5 kg). The nurse has amoxicillin oral suspension 125 mg/5 mL available. How many mL should the nurse administer to the client with each dose? Record your answer using 2 decimal places.

Correct Answer: 3.75 mL/dose

Rationale: Calculation: 7.5 kg × 25 mg/kg/day = 187.5 mg/day. Divided into 2 doses = 93.75 mg/dose. 125 mg/5 mL = 25 mg/mL. 93.75 mg ÷ 25 mg/mL = 3.75 mL/dose (
