A physician orders ampicillin oral suspension, 250 mg qid, for 10 days. How many milliliters of this suspension, if available as 250 mg / 5 mL, should be dispensed?

100 mL
150 mL
200 mL
300 mL


200 mL

Rationale: Since the ampicillin is taken qid (four times per day), this means that 20 mL are to be taken in total every day. 20 mL multiplied by 10 days is 200 mL.
