Answer 1

Answer:

The patient will be taking medicine for 14 days.

Explanation:

Volume of PO amoxicillin in multi-dose bottle = 336 mL

Volume of dose taken by patient in a 1 day = 24 mL

If the patient will be consuming whole volume of PO amoxicillin in multi-dose in x days.Then:

$x\times 24 mL/day= 336 mL$

$x=\frac{336 mL}{24 mL/days}=14 days$

x = 14 days

The patient will be taking medicine for 14 days.
