Answer:

5 milliliters

Explanation:

Weight of the child = 20 kg

Prescription order = 20 mg/kg 2 hours before appointment

The total amount of erythromycin required by the child= weight of the child x prescription order.

                       = 20 x 20 = 400 mg

Amount of erythromycin per 5 ml of the bottle = 400 mg

<em>Hence, the total milliliters of the liquid that the child should receive </em>= 5 ml
