The physician orders 60 mg of Augmentin; 80 mg/mL is on hand. How many milliliters will you give?

  • A. 1 ml
  • B. 0.5 ml
  • C. 0.75 ml
  • D. 1.25 ml
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume required, divide the prescribed dose (60 mg) by the concentration available (80 mg/mL): 60 mg · 80 mg/mL = 0.75 mL. Therefore, 0.75 mL is the correct amount to administer. Choice A (1 ml) is incorrect as it does not consider the concentration of the solution. Choice B (0.5 ml) is incorrect as it is half the correct amount. Choice D (1.25 ml) is incorrect as it is more than the calculated correct amount.
