Answer:
750 mg Amoxicillin daily
Step-by-step explanation:
The order is q8h which means every eight hours. There are 24 hours in one day, so we divide 24 hours by the 8-hour dose frequency to determine how many doses are administered daily.
24 / 8 = 3
Three (3) doses are given daily, each at a quantity of 250 mg.
So to find the daily dose, we multiply this 250 mg by the 3 doses daily to find to total amount of medication administered.
250 x 3 = 750
Therefore, the patient is to received 750 mg total amoxicillin daily for the duration of 7 days per provider order.
