A physician ordered amoxicillin 250 mg tid for 10 days. How many milliliters of amoxicillin oral suspension, containing 250 mg per teaspoon, should be dispensed?
100 mL
150 mL
200 mL
250 mL
150 mL
Rationale: 150 mL must be dispensed since the patient must take 250 mg three times per day for 10 days. 250 mg is contained in a 1-teaspoon (5-mL) dose. Therefore, (5 mL)(3 times/day)(10days) = 150 mL.
