Correct Answer is B
Explanation
To calculate the appropriate dosage of amoxicillin for the toddler; Given:
Weight of the toddler = 20 kg
Recommended dosage range = 20 to 25 mg/kg/day Calculate the total daily dose:
Minimum recommended dosage = 20 mg/kg/day Maximum recommended dosage = 25 mg/kg/day
Minimum total daily dose = 20 mg/kg/day × 20 kg = 400 mg/day Maximum total daily dose = 25 mg/kg/day × 20 kg = 500 mg/day
The prescribed dosage is 100 mg every 8 hours, which means 300 mg per day (100 mg × 3 times a day). As 300 mg is below the minimum recommended total daily dose (400 mg) for a toddler weighing 20 kg, the nurse should determine that the prescribed dosage is insufficient to achieve the desired effect.
