An infant weighing 6 kg prescribed Amoxicillin
Question 1 of 5
As the nurse caring for an infant who has been prescribed Amoxicillin (Amoxil) orally every 6 hours, you need to calculate the dose. The recommended safe dosage is 50 mg/kg/day, divided into multiple doses. If the infant weighs 6 kg, how much Amoxicillin should you administer per dose?
Correct Answer: 75 mg/dose
Rationale: The correct answer is 75 mg/dose.
To calculate this, first find the total daily dose by multiplying the infant's weight (6 kg) by the recommended dosage of 50 mg/kg/day. 6 kg x 50 mg/kg = 300 mg/day. Since the dose is divided into multiple doses, divide the total daily dose by the number of doses (every 6 hours = 4 doses per day). 300 mg/day รท 4 doses = 75 mg/dose. This ensures the infant receives the correct amount of medication throughout the day. Other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the calculation based on the infant's weight and the recommended safe dosage.
