Extract:
A toddler who weighs 33 lb.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 30 mg/kg/day in 2 equally divided doses every 12 hr to a toddler who weighs 33 lb. Available is amoxicillin 200 mg/5 mL suspension. How many mL should the nurse administer. (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The toddler weighs 33 lb (15 kg). The dose is 30 mg/kg/day = 450 mg/day, or 225 mg every 12 hours. Amoxicillin is 200 mg/5 mL, so 225 mg ÷ 200 mg/5 mL = 5.625 mL, rounded to 5.6 mL.
