A prescription is written for a child to take 1 teaspoon of Amoxicillin suspension, every 8 hours. How many milliliters should the child be given in a 24 hour period?
  1. 5 mL
  2. 15 mL
  3. 30 mL
  4. 10 mL
Explanation
Answer: B - The child should be given 15 mL in every 24 hour period. One teaspoon is equivalent to 5 mL of liquid. If the child needs to be given the medication every 8 hours, they should receive 3 doses per day; 3 x 5 mL = 15 mL per day.
