Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the safe dose range for Amoxicillin for this client, we need to use the client's weight to determine the maximum and minimum safe dose range.
Maximum safe dose range = 250 mg/kg/dose x 5 kg = 1250 mg/dose
Minimum safe dose range = 100 mg/kg/dose x 5 kg = 500 mg/dose
Therefore, the safe dose range for Amoxicillin for this client is between 500 mg/dose and 1250 mg/dose.
The ordered dose of Amoxicillin is 1050 mg PO BID (twice daily).
To determine if this medication is safe to administer, we need to calculate the total daily dose and compare it to the safe dose range.
Total daily dose = 1050 mg x 2 doses/day = 2100 mg/day
The total daily dose of 2100 mg/day is within the safe dose range of 500 mg/dose to 1250 mg/dose for this client.
Therefore, it is safe to administer the ordered dose of Amoxicillin to this client.
