Question 1 of 35 :
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 775 mg PO. Available is amoxicillin oral suspension 400 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.)
Correct Answer: 10
Calculation:
- Identify the ordered dose and available concentration
Ordered Dose: 775 mg
Available Concentration: 400 mg/5 mL
- Calculate the volume to administer
Volume to administer = (Ordered Dose ÷ Concentration) × Volume of Concentration
Volume to administer = (775 ÷ 400) × 5
Volume to administer = 1.9375 × 5
Volume to administer ≈ 9.6875 mL
- Round to the nearest whole number
= 10 mL
