Challenge Question Number 1 for Certified Medical Assistant #1145

Related Subject(s):
Mathematics
Related Soft Skill(s):
Analyzing Information

Describe a typical "challenge" encountered in your work:
A patient is given a prescription for Amoxicillin 250 mg/5ml. The patient is to take one teaspoon three times a day. How many milliliters need to be dispensed for a 10-day supply?



Clearly describe what you expect from the students:
Answer: 150 ml.



In order to give the teacher some guidance in evaluating the student's project(s); list some tips that may help to assess the student's work:
5ml x 10 (days)= 50

50 x 3(times per day) = 150
