The Correct Answer is A
Choice A rationale: This is the correct answer. It corresponds to 300 mg of the drug ((300x 5)/250).
Choice B rationale: This is incorrect because it is too low. It is the amount of milliliters that corresponds to 200 mg of amoxicillin trihydrate, which is less than the prescribed dose of 300 mg.
Choice C rationale: This is incorrect because it is too low. It is the amount of milliliters that corresponds to 60 mg of amoxicillin trihydrate, which is not enough to treat an oral infection.
Choice D rationale: This is incorrect because it is too low. It is the amount of milliliters that corresponds to 250 mg of amoxicillin trihydrate, which is less than the prescribed dose of 300 mg.

Choice A rationale: This is not accurate since the manifestations of facial nerve paralysis are observed on the contralateral side which in this case is the left side of the face hence the right facial nerve is paralyzed.
Choice B rationale: Facial nerve paralysis cause symptoms such as drooping of the eyelid, cheek or mouth as depicted in the above picture. The right facial nerve is paralyzed since the nerve innervates the contralateral side hence the effects are demonstrated on the
left side of the face.
Choice C rationale: trigeminal nerve paralysis causes symptoms such as weakness in muscles of mastication, altered sensation over the face and tongue, and hearing impairment and not the symptoms depicted above.
