To find the volume of amoxicillin solution the nurse needs to administer, we can divide the desired dose (300 mg) by the concentration of the solution (250 mg/5 mL).

Here's the calculation:

Amoxicillin volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) Amoxicillin volume (mL) = 300 mg / 250 mg/5 mL

Since we're dividing by a fraction, it's mathematically equivalent to multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction. The reciprocal of 250 mg/5 mL is 5 mL/250 mg.

Amoxicillin volume (mL) = 300 mg * (5 mL / 250 mg)

Cancel out the milligrams (mg) units:

Amoxicillin volume (mL) = 300 mg / 250 mg * 5 mL

Amoxicillin volume (mL) = 1.2 mL (rounded to one decimal place)

However, since we are dealing with medication, it's best to round to the nearest whole number for accuracy in administering the dose.

Therefore, the nurse should administer 6.0 mL of amoxicillin oral solution.

A. Nausea and vomiting: Nausea and vomiting can occur with epoetin alfa, but it's not the most common side effect.

B. Orthostatic hypotension: This is not a common side effect of epoetin alfa. Orthostatic hypotension is a decrease in blood pressure upon standing.

C. Hypertension: Epoetin alfa stimulates the production of red blood cells. When the red blood cell count increases too quickly, it can lead to increased blood pressure, which is the most common adverse effect.

D. Dizziness: Dizziness can occur with epoetin alfa, but it's less common than hypertension.
