A nurse is caring for an infant who has otitis media and is to receive amoxicillin 30 mg/kg/day in divided doses every 12 hr. The child weighs 13 lb.
Question 2 of 5
How many mg should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 89 mg.
To determine the correct dosage, we need to calculate the average of the values provided (87, 89, 91, and 93). Adding them together gives 360. Dividing by 4 gives 90, which rounds to 89. A is too low, C and D are too high as the average of the values falls closest to 89.
