    a) b. i. d: twice daily.

    b) 12 hour between each administration.

    c) mg amoxicilin/administration = 413.9 mg/administration.

    d) should be stored in the refrigerator

    Explanation:

    mass child = 36.5 Lb * (453.592 g/Lb) = 16556.11 g = 16.556 Kg dosage: 25mg/kg body b. i. d.

    ∴ b. i. d. : refer to twice a day; so 12 hours will pass between each administration of the medication.

    ⇒ mg amoxicilin/administration = 25 mg / kg * 16.556 Kg = 413.9 mg amoxicilin.

    Amoxicillin should be stored in the refrigerator, since in this section the temperature is kept within the storage range
