Answer 1

Answer: 1 oz of Clavamox will be sent home with the client.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, 17lb Dog is ordered to receive 105 mg of Clavamox BID for 14 days.

That means, the dog required 105 mg of Clavamox per day.

So for 14 days, the dog will need $105\ mg \times 14\ days = 1470\ mg$ of Clavamox

Also, the Clavamox concentration is 250 mg/5 ml

Thus, the required amount of Clavamox fotr 14 days =$5 ml \div 250 mg \times 1470 mg = 29.4 \ ml$

Since, 1 oz is 29.5 ml (approximately 29.4 ml.)

So, 1 oz of Clavamox will be sent home with the client.
