A nurse is preparing to administer ampicillin to a school-age child who weighs 55 lb. The provider prescribes 50 mg/kg/day in 4 equal doses. Available is ampicillin oral suspension 125 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
