Pharmacy Technician Certification Board Practice Exam Practice Question
The following order is written for an adult patient: Amoxicillin/clavulanate 875 mg IV q12h Which of the following statements about this order is most accurate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The order specifies intravenous (IV) administration of amoxicillin/clavulanate, which is typically given orally. Thus, the route of administration is inappropriate for this medication.
Option B is incorrect as the dosing schedule of every 12 hours is standard for this antibiotic, especially in cases of severe infections.
Option C is misleading because although the dosage and frequency may be correct, the route is not suitable for this formulation.
Option D is also incorrect; the dose of 875 mg is appropriate for the intended use, assuming the patient has no contraindications.
