Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 30 mg/kg/day divided equally 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?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale:
To calculate the correct dosage, first convert toddler's weight from lb to kg: 33 lb รท 2.2 = 15 kg.
Then, calculate the daily dosage: 30 mg/kg/day x 15 kg = 450 mg/day. Since the dose is divided every 12 hours, divide 450 mg by 2 to get 225 mg per dose. Next, determine how many mL of the suspension contain 225 mg of amoxicillin: 200 mg/5 mL = 225 mg/x mL. Cross multiply to get x = 5.625 mL, which is closest to 5.6 mL (
Choice
C).

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not match the calculated dosage.
