you receive an order for amoxicillin 250 mg q8h for 7 days. calculate how many mg the patient receives in daily?
750 mg
5250 mg
500 mg
2000 mg

Explanation:

Step1: Determine number of doses per day

Since it's q8h (every 8 hours), in 24 - hour day, number of doses $n=\frac{24}{8}=3$.

Step2: Calculate daily dosage

Each dose is 250 mg, so daily dosage $D = 250\times n$. Substituting $n = 3$, we get $D=250\times3 = 750$ mg.

Answer:

750 mg
