For Augmentin 500mg, SIG: 1t po bid with food x10d, what is the quantity to dispense?

The correct answer is: 20

To determine the quantity to dispense for Augmentin 500 mg with the directions provided, it is essential to break down the prescribed regimen. The instructions indicate that the patient should take one tablet by mouth twice a day (bid) with food for a total duration of 10 days. Calculating the total number of tablets needed involves multiplying the daily dosage by the number of days. Since the patient takes one tablet twice a day, this results in: 1 tablet x 2 times per day = 2 tablets per day. Now, multiplying the daily amount by the total number of days gives: 2 tablets per day x 10 days = 20 tablets total. Thus, the quantity to dispense for this prescription is 20 tablets. This aligns with the correct choice provided in the response.
