Question 1 of 5

The healthcare provider prescribes amoxicillin 500 mg every 8 hours for a child who weighs 88 pounds. The recommended maximum safe dose is 50 mg/kg/24 hour. The available suspension is labeled, Amoxicillin Suspension 250 mg/5 mL. Based on this child weight, how many mL should the nurse administer ? (Enter numerical value only. (If rounding is required, round to the whole number.))

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale: Weight: 88 × 0.454 = 39.952 kg. Max safe dose: 50 mg/kg/day × 39.952 = 1997.6 mg/day. Per dose (3 doses/day): 1997.6 / 3 = 665.87 mg. Volume: 665.87 / (250 mg / 5 mL) = 2.6635 mL, rounded to 3 mL.
