A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 750 mg PO. Available is amoxicillin liquid suspension 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.) ________ mL
Correct Answer: 15
Step 1 is to identify the ordered dose and available concentration
Ordered dose: 750 mg
Available: 250 mg / 5 mL
Step 2 is to calculate the volume to administer in milliliters (mL)
(Ordered dose ÷ Available dose) × Available volume = Result
(750 ÷ 250) × 5 = Result
750 ÷ 250 = 3
3 × 5 = 15

15 = 15
