A prescription requires Amoxicillin to be dispensed with directions to take 3 tablespoons QID for 10 days. How many milliliters must be dispensed?

To determine the total volume of Amoxicillin that must be dispensed, we first need to calculate the total amount to be taken over the specified timeframe. The prescription states that the patient should take 3 tablespoons four times a day (QID) for 10 days.

First, we convert tablespoons to milliliters. Since there are approximately 15 milliliters in 1 tablespoon, 3 tablespoons can be converted as follows:

3 tablespoons x 15 milliliters/tablespoon = 45 milliliters.

Next, we calculate how much the patient will take in one day. Since the prescription indicates taking 45 milliliters QID, we multiply this amount by 4 (for the four doses during the day):

45 milliliters/dose x 4 doses/day = 180 milliliters/day.

Now, we find out how much will be taken over 10 days by multiplying the daily intake by the number of days:

180 milliliters/day x 10 days = 1800 milliliters.

This value seems incorrect based on the set options. Therefore, total dispensing must be re-evaluated based on accurate step-by-step calculations.

Let's reassess:

• We have established that the daily
