Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 300 mg PO. The amount lable is amoxicillin oral solution 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Hound the answer to the nearest tenth/whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To determine the amount of oral solution needed, use the formula: Desired dose / Stock dose x Volume of stock solution.
Given:
Desired dose = 300 mg
Stock dose = 250 mg/5 mL
Step-by-step:
1. Calculate the volume of stock solution needed:
300 mg / 250 mg x 5 mL = 6 mL
Rationale:
The correct answer is B (6 mL) because it is the exact amount needed to administer the desired dose of amoxicillin. Other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculation based on the provided information.
