Explanation / Answer

4.

Order: 3/4 teaspoon po tid for 7 days

Available :250mg/ 5ml

1 teaspoon = 5ml
3/4 teaspoon = 3.75ml

3.75mlx 3times a day = 11.25 ml
then, for 7days = 11.25mlx7= 78.75ml

now, divide the total required ml by 5ml
78.75/5= 15.7

Thus 15.7 or 16 total amoxicillin 250/5ml suspension is required for the patient to complete the therapy.
