Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 80 mg/kg/day to divide equally every 8 hr to a preschooler who weighs 33 lb. Available is amoxicillin oral suspension 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 33 lb / 2.2 = 15 kg; 80 mg/kg/day × 15 kg = 1200 mg/day; 1200 mg / 3 doses = 400 mg/dose; 400 mg / (250 mg/5 mL) = 8 mL.
