Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 300 mg PO. The amount available is amoxicillin oral solution 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To determine the correct amount of amoxicillin to administer, first calculate the ratio of amoxicillin in the oral solution: 250 mg/5 mL. Next, set up a proportion: 250 mg is to 5 mL as 300 mg is to X mL. Cross multiply to find X = (300 mg * 5 mL) / 250 mg = 6 mL.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 6 mL.
Choice B is correct because it accurately calculates the correct amount. Other choices are incorrect because they do not perform the necessary calculation or use the correct ratio to determine the correct mL to administer.
