Question

Please this is the second time I am posting, I need to learn how to set up this problem by doing dimensional analysis ONLY.

PLEASE PLEASE if you aren't going to set it up by using DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS let someone else answer the problem. I need the steps.

1. The healthcare provider prescribes amoxicillin (Amoxil) 125 mg for a child weighing 25 lb. The pharmacy supplies a dosage strength of 250 mg/ 5mL. Safe (usual) dose is 20-40 mg/kg in 3 divided doses.

Is this dose safe? Please circle one as your answer: safe, but ineffective, safe, not safe.

If dose above is safe, how many mL’s dose would the nurse give? _________mL
